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.
There is nothing not to love about mini-sized carrots, such as this amazing and absolutely addictive brown butter garlic honey roasted carrots.
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. That’s when I start to 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 (click to check out the 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.

Made these for a dinner guest who does not care for spinach(which was the main veggie). Her husband tried a spoonful and then another….she ate the rest! They loved them and wanted the recipe. Thanks for a delicious twist on carrots.

Lucha
Thanks, Bee. Easy, healthy and tasty all in one simple recipe. I already knew how brown butter could work miracles on a head of cauliflower, but this is my first time to try it with carrots. Even my grandchildren love carrots cooked this way.
Rasa Malaysia
Hi Lucha, thanks so much for trying this brown butter garlic honey roasted carrots. I need to try it with cauliflower!
cindy
What temp should the oven be put on
Rasa Malaysia
425F as stated in the recipe.
Michele Hobson
Can I put them in fridge over night after doing the skillet part and roast in the oven the next day?
Rasa Malaysia
Yes you can! Just cover it in the fridge.
Lisa
Hi,
I don’t see when to add the carrots to the skillet…assuming right after adding the spices ect. My questions is do you coat the carrots in the brown butter before roasting?
Rasa Malaysia
Hi Lisa, here is the recipe: Add the garlic and quickly saute before adding the carrots. Stir a few times, then add the salt, black pepper, honey and thyme or parsley.
Marnie
I’m thinking of making these for a gathering. Do you think I could make them ahead of time and then keep them warm in a slow cooker?
Rasa Malaysia
Yes you can!
Jodi
Later on in comments, on Oct. 29 2017, you say you can’t put them in a slow cooker to keep warm. Am I misunderstanding the other person’s question? I am also looking to throw in the slow cooker after cooking is complete (to keep warm only).
Rasa Malaysia
I mean you can but I don’t really recommend it as it will make the carrots mushy.
Penni
The carrots were awesome cooked this way. They have become a family favorite. Thanks!!
Rasa Malaysia
Thanks Penni I am happy that your family enjoyed my brown butter garlic honey roasted carrots. :)

Absolutely loved this recipe. I have printed it out with your website address and will be passing it out at an Oscar Nite party! These are too good not to share. Love your photographs also. I could almost taste these lovely recipes!
Rasa Malaysia

Mama Gina
I made this tonight for my family with full-sized carrots. We had a bunch of multi-colored carrots, so though I’m not a carrot fan, I thought I’d give roasting them a try. This was so easy and good! I just cut the thicker ends into quarters, the middle sections in half and the thin ends stayed the same. The carrots were orange, purple, yellow and green, so we had the added fun of trying to see if they tasted any different. My husband had the idea to blindfold our boys, ages 4 & 6, for a taste test. They ate them up and had fun! Thanks so much for this recipe! It will be a staple for years to come.

Made these for dinner tonight. I added just a touch of brown sugar and used the parsley flakes rather than the thyme. They were amazing. Very few leftover.
Rasa Malaysia
Awesome Mares.

Emily
These look so good! Im going to be making them tonight and im going to try adding green beans with the carrots as well. Do you think if i make a double portion it will freeze and reheat well?
Rasa Malaysia
Yes, they will. Let me know how you liked them.
Marsha
Would it be okay to boil the carrots just a little? I’m worried that with my dentures,i may not be able to chew them and this recipe sounds heavenly and i want to make sure that i can have some too
Rasa Malaysia
Sure, you can boil the carrots.
Kathy
I made this recipe tonight for supper. It was delicious! I didn’t make it in a cast iron pan, but used a Calphalon saute pan that I bought at a thrift store.
This carrot recipe will be a regular guest on my dinner table!

Valaree Perry
How would it taste with carrots, broccoli, and cauliflower? Can I put them in a slow cooler after cooking them?
Rasa Malaysia
Don’t mix them together because they all cook at different times. No, don’t put in slow cooker.
Jennifer
Yummy. Thank you for sharing.

This is the only way I want to eat carrots now. I used regular carrots cut to size, and it turned out perfectly!
Rasa Malaysia
Awesome, I am so happy you love my brown butter garlic honey roasted carrots.
Cassidy Taylor Capen
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.
tommy
