Ingredients
1 pound fresh carrots, cut into even pieces
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon honey
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the carrots in a large bowl and toss with olive oil, honey, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until evenly coated.
- Spread the carrots in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the carrots are tender and lightly browned.
- Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve warm.
Notes
Add a pinch of cinnamon for a warmer flavor variation.
Maple syrup can be used instead of honey for a deeper sweetness.
A squeeze of lemon juice after roasting adds brightness.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheat in a 350°F oven or microwave until warmed through.
Use two baking sheets if doubling the recipe to keep carrots in a single layer.
