Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds baby carrots rinsed and dried well
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted 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 baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the honey, olive oil, melted butter, salt, and garlic powder.
  • Add the carrots and toss until they’re fully coated in the mixture.
  • Spread them out in a single layer on the prepared sheet.

  • Sprinkle with parsley and black pepper if you like. Serve warm.

Notes

Chef Jenn's Tips

  • Rainbow carrots add a nice visual pop if you can find them.
  • Make sure the carrots are dry before tossing—they’ll roast better.
  • Keep space between them on the pan so they brown properly.
  • Want a flavor twist? A little smoked paprika or balsamic vinegar in the glaze works great.
