I made this honey roasted carrots a couple of months ago and totally forgot about posting it. Going through my pictures the other day and realized that I have the pictures and recipe sitting in my folder. Anyway, since I tried the honey roasted butternut squash, I have fallen in love with the combination of honey, butter, garlic, and parsley in my vegetables. They pair so well together and make pretty bland tasting vegetables very good and delicious, after roasting in the oven.
My 4-year old son is a big fan of carrot. He loves baby carrots in soups and in stews, and carrots are always the first thing he eats from his dinner plate. He loves carrot so much that he said he wanted to dress up as a carrot for the next Halloween (tell me about it!!). So I made this honeybutter roasted carrots specifically for him.
Instead of regular carrots, I got young carrots with tops. But you can get regular carrots or baby carrots for the recipe. The key to this recipe is to roast the carrots long enough so they become so tender, so much so that they taste more like sweet potatoes than regular carrots. The honey, butter, and garlic really do magic to these carrots and my son gobbled up the carrots. No fuzz and dinner was a breeze when he got his favorite food. Try this easy peasy honey roasted carrot recipe for the little picky eaters, but I bet you that even the grown ups will be very happy to eat them.

I thought if you heat honey it will lose all of its benefits.
Rasa Malaysia
It’s not about benefits it’s about tasty, in this case!! :)

The “benefits” of honey are over touted. Sure, it’s maybe slightly better for you than refined white sugar, but really only barely. Your body processes it the same as any other sugar. It’s something to be used in moderation and not as a “health food.” There’s really no point in worrying about “losing the benefits” of honey in a recipe like this, because you shouldn’t be relying on a sugar for your nutrients anyway, see what I mean?

I hate food bloggers. Readers don’t care about your personal lame stories. We just want recipes. Thanks.

Hi Bee,
Just ignore people who do not like to read stories. They do not belong to the community who likes to follow food bloggers. Be happy and throw them out of you mind.

I rarely eat carrots, but your recipe is so simple, and the picture looked so good, I had to try. So, I just made these carrots tonight exactly as written, and they were a hit. Next time I’m making double. Over the years, I’ve made quite a few dishes off your site, and they’re all very good. Thanks for sharing your passion. Don’t let haters get to you.

Trish
Hi there! I am making these carrots tonight with my meatloaf. The meatloaf needs to bake for 1 gr @ 350 so I would like to throw in the carrots at the same time. Will I need to adjust my baking time @ 350? I see the recipe recommends 400…Any help would be greatly appreciated :)
Rasa Malaysia
That’s fine just bake slightly longer so they are tender.
Annie

Delicious easy way to make carrots. I used olive oil instead of butter with different colored varieties if carrots and they were excellent.
Amanda
Amazing way to cook carrots. My kids loved it!
robin morgridge
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.
Toni
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
