Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb carrots
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 tbsp honey
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash and peel the carrots, then cut them into uniform sticks or diagonally sliced pieces about 2-3 inches long.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, honey, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to make the seasoning mixture.
Add the carrot pieces to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
Spread the seasoned carrots in a single layer on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
Roast the carrots in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even caramelization. The carrots should be tender and lightly browned around the edges.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the carrots cool slightly before transferring them to a serving dish.
Optionally, garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving for a pop of color and added freshness.
