Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a small saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter over low heat. Stir in 3 tablespoons of honey, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and 2 cloves of minced garlic. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until the mixture is well combined and fragrant.
  3. Peel 1 pound of fresh carrots and cut them into even sticks. Spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  4. Pour the honey garlic mixture evenly over the arranged carrots, coating each stick thoroughly, and season with salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
  5. Toss the carrots gently to distribute the sauce evenly.
  6. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the carrots for 25-30 minutes. Stir halfway through to promote even browning.
  7. Once roasted, transfer the carrots to a serving dish and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley before serving warm.
