2 pounds large carrots, peeled and sliced into thick diagonals
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
3 tablespoons honey
4 cloves garlic, finely minced
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/4 teaspoon cracked black pepper
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to ensure the honey glaze does not stick to the pan and to make cleanup much easier later on.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, honey, and minced garlic until the mixture is well combined. Add the salt and pepper to the bowl and give it another quick stir to distribute the seasoning evenly.
Place your prepared carrot slices into a large bowl. Pour the honey garlic butter mixture over the carrots and toss them thoroughly with a large spoon or your hands, ensuring every piece is well coated in the glossy glaze.
Spread the carrots out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Place them in the center of the oven and roast for about 20 to 25 minutes. About halfway through the cooking time, use a spatula to toss the carrots so they brown evenly on all sides.
Remove the tray from the oven once the carrots are tender and the edges have begun to caramelize into a deep golden brown. Transfer them to a festive serving platter and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley while they are still warm.
