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.

Sauteed brown butter garlic honey carrots.

Use Baby Carrots Or Baby Cut Carrots

Easy and quick roasted carrots with lots of garlic, brown butter and honey.

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.

    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!

  3. Marsha says:

    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

    1. Rasa Malaysia says:

      Sure, you can boil the carrots.

  4. Emily says:

    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?

    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.

    1. Rasa Malaysia says:

      Awesome Mares.
