Recipe Tips
For even roasting, try to cut any larger carrots in half lengthwise so they cook at the same rate as smaller ones.
If you don’t have Mike’s Hot Honey, you can substitute with regular honey plus a pinch of cayenne pepper.
The garlic herb butter can be softened quickly by cutting it into small pieces and letting it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes.
FAQ
Can I use regular carrots instead of baby carrots?
Yes, you can use regular carrots. Just peel and cut them into sticks or rounds of similar size to ensure even roasting.
How do I store leftover roasted carrots?
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven or microwave until warmed through.
Can I make this dish ahead of time?
These carrots are best served fresh, but you can roast them a day ahead and reheat. Add the butter and honey glaze just before serving for the best texture.
