These honey garlic roasted carrots are cooked to perfection. This is a perfect side dish to my Garlic Herb Turkey Breast, Slow Cooker Honey-glazed Ham, or my Herb-Crusted Rib-Eye Roast. Roasting vegetables is my favorite way to cook them. It always brings out the best flavor. Especially carrots, roasting just intensifies the flavor and makes them sweeter.

How to make Honey Garlic Roasted Carrots?
Step 1: Peel and cut the carrots: Peel and cut into 3-inch chunks. Cut the thick chunks in half.
Step 2: Melt the butter: In a large oven-safe skillet melt the butter.
Step 3: Add in garlic and honey: Whisk in minced garlic and honey.
Step 4: Add in carrots: Toss the carrots with the honey butter garlic mixture until coated.
Step 5: Bake until tender, then broil to caramelize if desired.
Step 6: Garnish with fresh chopped parsley.
Recipe tips
1. I like to use a cast-iron skillet and then put it straight into the oven. If you don't have an oven-safe skillet transfer it to a baking dish.
2. Try and keep your carrots the same size for even cooking.
3. I don't recommend using baby carrots they dont have as much flavor as whole carrots.
Can I prepare these ahead of time?
Yes, Making these honey garlic roasted carrots ahead of time, is a huge time saver. You can reheat them in the microwave or a 300-degree oven for 15 minutes.
How to store roasted carrots
Store in an airtight container for 2-3 days in the refrigerator.

Hello! I’m hosting thanksgiving for the first time this year and I want to make these carrots. Plan to make them ahead, how do you recommend I reheat them?
Oh yes, you can make the carrots tomorrow and just reheat for Thanksgiving.
Would I be able to make the carrotts tomorrow, and eat Thursday? Or must they be made the same day? Thank you.
Fantastic Sue!
OMG. Delicious. Just made these. No pan issues. Used Temptatiions pan from QVC. Took all my limited self control not to eat whole pan
Thanks for all your great recipes
Yes, that would be fine Joyce 🙂
No, I wouldn't use frozen carrots, they tend to be mushier.
Can they be frozen
CAN I USE BABY CARROTS
Sure, you just may have to shorten the baking tim as they are much smaller.
Can u use a bag of baby carrots?
Fantastic Emily! So happy your daughter loved them 🙂
My daughter took one bite of these and said, “YYYYYUUUUUMMMMMM! I’m going to eat the whole pan!” Thanks for sharing!
Just melt the butter and garlic in skillet. Place your carrots in a baking dish and pour the garlic butter, honey over carrots and toss to coat. Bake as directed. Hope this helps Larry 🙂
Question ? If you don’t have an oven proof skillet, can it be prepared on the stovetop and then transferred to a baking dish for roasting?
Oh no Cindy! Sorry you ruined your pan. I have never had a problem with it doing that, nor have I ever had any complaints. I have no idea what type of pan you used. 🙁
Loved this, however be prepared to trash the pan. The honey sticks bad. Next time I will prepare on stove top
Yay Natasha! You're welcome. Thanks for the great review 🙂
