Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds baby carrots rinsed and dried well (use orange carrots or a combination of different colored carrots)
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoon butter melted
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • fresh parsley chopped, for garnish, optional
  • ground black pepper for garnish, optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the honey, olive oil, melted butter, salt, and garlic powder.
  • Add the baby carrots to the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated with the glaze.
  • Pour the carrots and honey mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Spread them out in a single layer for even roasting.
  • Bake the carrots at 400°F for 30-40 minutes, or until they are fork-tender and beginning to brown on the bottom.
  • Remove the carrots from the oven and add a garnish of chopped fresh parsley and a sprinkle of fresh ground black pepper, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

  • Add a little cayenne pepper for some heat.
  • Try using different colored baby carrots for a fun presentation.
  • For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of smoked paprika or a splash of balsamic vinegar to the glaze.
