Roasted Carrots
How to roast carrots? Many people ask this question. Today, I am going to teach you how to make easy oven roasted carrots with two simple ingredients: honey and butter.
Add garlic, parsley and salt and you’ll have one of the best carrot recipes. This buttery and garlicky honey roasted carrots is absolutely delicious and picky eater friendly.
What Carrots to Use?
This time of year, carrot tops are fresh and abundant in farmers market and stores. I used carrot tops but you can certainly use regular carrots or baby carrots.
Cook’s Tip
The secret to this recipe is to roast the carrots at 400F for 25-30 minutes (depending on the size of your carrots) so they become so tender that they taste almost like roasted sweet potatoes!
Frequently Asked Questions
Do You Roast with the Skin on Carrots?
Yes, you can roast whole carrots with the skin on. Just make sure you scrub and clean the skin so there is no dirt on the surface. I prefer to peel the skin off before oven roasting.
How to Cut Carrots for Roasting?
I didn’t cut the carrots but you can cut them into chunky pieces or rounds like coins. It’s totally up to you.

My family has always enjoyed honeyed carrots, and I have experimented with the recipe for years. Great way to get kids to eat some veg.
You can cook them in the microwave too – this recipe would work, but I ways liked brown sugar rather than honey in a mw recipe.
Looking forward to giving your recipe a try.
Cheers

How long and what temp do I cook the carrots in the microwave? I’m running into ‘no room in the oven’ issue for my Easter meal. Please help!

Great recipe. Easy, delicious and a pop of color on the dinner plate. Only change I’ll make in the future is to use less butter.
