1 pound large carrots, peeled and sliced into rounds or batons
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons liquid honey
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon 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 silicone mats to ensure the honey glaze does not stick to the pan during the roasting process. Peel your carrots and slice them into even pieces to ensure they cook at the same rate.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, honey, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Stir the mixture until the honey is fully incorporated into the butter and the garlic is evenly distributed throughout the liquid.
Place the prepared carrots into a large mixing bowl and pour the honey garlic mixture over them. Use a large spoon or your hands to toss the carrots until every piece is thoroughly coated in the glaze. Transfer the carrots to the prepared baking sheet and spread them out in a single layer, making sure they are not crowded.
Slide the baking sheet into the center of the oven and roast for 20 to 25 minutes. About halfway through the cooking time, use a spatula to flip the carrots so they brown evenly on all sides. The carrots are done when they are fork tender and the edges have begun to turn a deep golden brown.
Remove the tray from the oven and carefully transfer the carrots to a warm serving platter. Drizzle any remaining glaze from the baking sheet over the top and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley for a pop of Christmas color before serving immediately.
