These Honey Butter Roasted Carrots are one of those sides that look pretty on the table but couldn’t be easier. They’re sweet, caramelized around the edges, and the honey + butter combo just works. I make these every holiday because everyone actually eats them and they go with turkey, ham, or whatever else you’re serving.
These come together quickly! Here’s the full recipe...

Angela’s Recipe Tips
* Add extra honey: If you prefer a sweeter taste, drizzle a little more honey over the carrots after roasting.
* Try baby carrots: They offer a more tender texture and don't require peeling. Simply give them a wash and slice larger ones in half.
* A squeeze of lemon: Just before serving, a splash of lemon juice brightens the sweetness and balances the dish perfectly.
* Reheats well for leftovers.
Notes
1
Preheat oven to 425°F.
2
Prepare your carrots by peeling and slicing them into uniform pieces. This ensures that they cook evenly.
3
Toss the carrots in a large bowl with melted butter, honey, salt, and black pepper. Make sure every slice is evenly coated for the best flavor.
4
Spread the carrots out in a single layer on a baking sheet.
5
Roast in the oven for 30 to 35 minutes, tossing them halfway through.
6
Add optional herbs: If you choose to incorporate parsley or thyme, sprinkle them over the carrots just before serving for a burst of color and flavor.
Instructions
2 lbs carrots: Peeled and sliced into equal pieces for even cooking.
3 Tbsp melted unsalted butter
2 Tbsp honey
¼ tsp black pepper
½ tsp salt
Optional: parsley or thyme
