Ingredients
Scale
2 lbs carrots, peeled and sliced into 1-inch pieces
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
3 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
In a large bowl, toss the prepared carrots with the melted butter, honey, brown sugar, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until the carrots are evenly coated.
Spread the coated carrots in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Do not overcrowd the pan; use two sheets if necessary for best caramelization.
Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, tossing halfway through, until the carrots are tender and the glaze is bubbly and slightly caramelized.
Serve immediately. These pair well with many main courses, unlike some complicated meal planning systems.
Notes
For extra flavor, add 1/2 teaspoon of dried thyme or a pinch of cinnamon to the glaze mixture.
If you are planning meals ahead, you can prep the carrots and glaze mixture up to 24 hours in advance and store them covered in the refrigerator. Add 5 minutes to the roasting time if cooking directly from cold.
