ROASTED CARROTS
Everyone loves honey carrots right? Well, we’ve taken them to the next level, adding a splash of garlic butter to give you the perfect combination of salty and sweet. Using our much-loved Honey Garlic Butter Sauce recipe, we have created the perfect side dish for your next family roast.
HOW TO COOK HONEY CARROTS
It honestly couldn’t get any easier.
- Peel carrots or leave them with skin on: this is personal preference. You don’t need to peel carrots as long as they are washed and scrubbed clean to remove any dirt. For this recipe, we prefer to remove the skin.
- Trim the ends then halve for faster roasting time.
- Drizzle with HALF the sauce. This is where the secret lies to getting maximum flavour out of your honey carrots!
- Use the remaining sauce to drizzle over your honey carrots after roasting and serve! Every mouthful will be sweet and salty, garlic, buttery goodness.
HOW LONG TO ROAST HONEY CARROTS
It takes only 20 minutes to roast honey carrots, depending on your oven. That makes them the perfect side dish to whip up on a busy weekday or a relaxing weekend.
WHAT DO YOU EAT WITH HONEY CARROTS?
These honey garlic butter roasted carrots make the perfect addition to our pork roast with crackling, our lemon garlic roast chicken or our roast beef tenderloin.
Season with a little extra salt and pepper after you’ve drizzled over the remaining sauce for a flavour overload!

Honey Garlic Butter Roasted Carrots
Ingredients
- 2 pounds carrots washed and peeled, or unpeeled
- ⅓ cup butter
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- ¼-1/2 teaspoon salt plus more for seasoning
- 1 pinch black pepper cracked
- 2 tablespoons parsley fresh, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly grease a large baking sheet with nonstick cooking oil spray; set aside.
- Trim ends of carrots and cut into thirds.
- Melt butter in a pan or skillet over medium-heat. Pour in honey and cook, while stirring, until completely melted through the butter. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant while stirring.
- Add the carrots and allow the sauce to thicken for a further minute, while tossing the carrots through the sauce. Season with salt and pepper.
- Transfer carrots to baking sheet in a single layer so they cook evenly. Toss to evenly coat.
- Roast for 20 minutes, or until carrots are fork-tender. Broil (or grill) for 2-3 minutes on high heat to crisp/char the edges.
- OPTIONAL: Transfer them back into the skillet and allow carrots to simmer in the sauce over high heat for 5 minutes to thicken the sauce into a glaze. *SEE NOTES.
- Season with a little extra salt and pepper if desired. Garnish with parsley.
- Arrange onto serving platter and enjoy!
