Glazed Roasted Carrots Honey

Category: Perfect Side Dishes to Complete Any Meal

Carrots are sliced and coated in a blend of melted butter, minced garlic, and honey, then seasoned with sea salt and black pepper for balanced flavor. Roasted at high heat, the carrots become tender and develop golden, caramelized edges. A sprinkle of fresh parsley adds brightness before serving. The garlic-honey glaze infuses each bite with sweet and savory notes, making this dish a colorful complement to main courses. Preparation is straightforward, emphasizing natural sweetness and a rich aroma to elevate carrots from simple to special.
