Honey Butter Roasted Carrots
Sides · Serves 4 · Prep 10 min · Cook 25 min · Total 35 min
Roasting brings out carrots' natural sweetness, and a drizzle of honey butter at the end makes them a side kids reach for. Spread them out on the pan so they caramelize instead of steaming.
Ingredients
- 2 lb carrots, peeled, thick ones halved lengthwise
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves (optional)
Steps
- Heat the oven to 425°F.
- Toss the carrots with the olive oil, salt and pepper on a large rimmed sheet pan and spread them in a single layer.
- Roast, turning once halfway through, until tender and browned in spots, 20 to 25 minutes.
- While the carrots roast, melt the butter and honey together in a small saucepan or in the microwave and stir well.
- Move the carrots to a serving bowl, drizzle with the honey butter and toss. Sprinkle with thyme if you like.
