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.
Cooking 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
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.
I didn’t cut the carrots but you can cut them into chunky pieces or rounds like coins. It’s totally up to you.

Hi Rasa,
I tried this receive last Christmas and it was a huge hit to my entire family, so I’m going to cook them tonight again for my daughter’s birthday dinner!

Hi Annie thanks for your sweet note. Please try more recipes on my site. Happy birthday to your girl. :)
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 :)
That’s fine just bake slightly longer so they are tender.

Thanks Jan, yes, this honey butter roasted carrots are SO GOOD!!!
I thought if you heat honey it will lose all of its benefits.
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?
