Equipment

  • Oven
  • Baking sheet
  • Skillet
  • Cooking Oil Spray

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds carrots washed and peeled, or unpeeled
  • ⅓ cup butter
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • ¼-1/2 teaspoon salt plus more for seasoning
  • 1 pinch black pepper cracked
  • 2 tablespoons parsley fresh, chopped

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly grease a large baking sheet with nonstick cooking oil spray; set aside.
  • Trim ends of carrots and cut into thirds.
  • Melt butter in a pan or skillet over medium-heat. Pour in honey and cook, while stirring, until completely melted through the butter. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant while stirring.
  • Add the carrots and allow the sauce to thicken for a further minute, while tossing the carrots through the sauce. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Transfer carrots to baking sheet in a single layer so they cook evenly. Toss to evenly coat.
  • Roast for 20 minutes, or until carrots are fork-tender. Broil (or grill) for 2-3 minutes on high heat to crisp/char the edges.
  • OPTIONAL: Transfer them back into the skillet and allow carrots to simmer in the sauce over high heat for 5 minutes to thicken the sauce into a glaze. *SEE NOTES.
  • Season with a little extra salt and pepper if desired. Garnish with parsley.
  • Arrange onto serving platter and enjoy!

Notes

If too much water has been released from the carrots while roasting and you want a thick glaze, transfer the carrots into the skillet and add a cornstarch slurry to the sauce (½ teaspoon cornstarch to 2 teaspoons water), while stirring it through quickly until the sauce thickens. Repeat until reaching your desired consistency.
