Little G loves carrots and I am always making carrots for him at home. However, as a picky eater, he only likes baby carrots. Come to think about it, everyone loves baby carrots.
Use Baby Carrots or Baby Cut Carrots
There is nothing not to love about mini-sized carrots. Baby carrots or baby cut carrots are just better, such as this amazing and absolutely addictive brown butter garlic honey roasted carrots.
If you use regular carrots, just cut them into smaller pieces or chunks.

Brown Butter
Now, why brown butter? Well, brown butter is just better. Basically brown butter is butter cooked over over medium heat. As the butter melts, it will begin to foam and turn golden brown in color.
See the above picture of brown butter (image credit: Serious Eat). When the butter is browned, saute some garlic, add the carrots and honey to the skillet.
I finish the dish in the oven by roasting it for 20 minutes, and the end result is this tender, garlicky, buttery, and slightly sweet carrots.
This brown butter garlic honey roasted carrots is becoming my favorite roasted carrot recipes. Serve it as a side dish to almost everything you make and I will assure you that everyone will love it, including the pickiest eaters.

Has anyone tried making these ahead of time/in a slow cooker? I’d really like to try them for Thanksgiving, but would likely need to make the sauce ahead of time and then let it all cook in a slow cooker…. would this be possible?
Rasa Malaysia
I won’t cook in the slow cooker. This recipe takes very short time to make and can be made ahead and reheated before serving.
Barbara
Do you think I could sub brown sugar for the honey. And how much should I use
Rasa Malaysia
Yes, you can, 1 – 1 1/2 tablespoons honey.

Is it ok to use salted butter? I plan to cook it as a veggie side dish to go alongside your Ginger Garlic Baked Salmon
Rasa Malaysia
Yes you can. Just cut down the salt or use salt to taste.

The sauce for these carrots is PHENOMENAL. However, the carrots didn’t really soak up the flavor. I followed the recipe as written above. Ended up just eating a carrot with a spoonful of the sauce each time. Any tips to get them to soak up flavor more?
Rasa Malaysia
Hi Cassidy, what I usually do is stir and mix the carrots before serving. You can also do it half way when they are baked in the oven.

Hi! Wanting to try this recipe but coming along with a chicken recipe. Is it ok to cook last 400? And just leave in a little longer?
