Oven roasted carrots with honey glaze are everything you want these tubers to be (but rarely are): tender, yet firm, a little sweet, a little savory, and with a roasted flavor that's out of this world!

Ingredients
1poundwhole carrots, chopped, or baby carrots, see note
2tablespoonsolive oil
½teaspoonsalt
¼teaspoonblack pepper
6tablespoonsbutter
⅓cuphoney
2teaspoonsminced garlic
1 teaspoonfresh chopped parsley , may sub 1/4 teaspoon dried
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425 degrees and grease a rimmed baking sheet or casserole dish. It should be large enough that your carrots can fit in a single layer.
Toss carrots with oil, then season with salt and pepper. Arrange in a single layer on prepared baking pan.
Bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes, then switch to BROIL for 1-2 minutes (watch closely so they don't burn!). While carrots are baking prepare the glaze.
Melt butter in a small sauce pan over medium heat. Stir in garlic for 1 minute.
Stir in honey, bring to a boil, then remove from heat and stir in parsley.
When carrots are finished baking, pour glaze over the carrots and toss to coat. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
If you use petite baby carrots, they will require less cooking time. Check them at 15 minutes, they should be fork-tender when they are ready.
