Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F with racks in the top and middle positions. Set aside 4-5 tablespoons of the garlic herb butter to soften at room temperature.
- Divide the baby carrots between two baking sheets. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper and toss to coat evenly.
- Roast the carrots on the top and middle racks until tender and lightly browned at the edges, 20-25 minutes.
- Remove the carrots from the oven and carefully toss with the hot honey and softened garlic herb butter until evenly glazed. Serve immediately.
Recipe Tips
For extra flavor, sprinkle freshly chopped chives and parsley over the glazed carrots before serving.
Make sure the garlic herb butter is soft enough to blend easily with the hot honey for a smooth glaze.
If you prefer a milder heat, reduce the amount of hot honey or substitute with regular honey.
