Ingredients
  

1 pound baby carrots (or regular carrots cut into sticks)

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

4 garlic cloves, minced

1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves (or 1 teaspoon dried thyme)

1 tablespoon honey (optional)

Salt and black pepper, to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

    Prepare the Carrots: If using regular carrots, peel them and cut them into sticks of roughly the same size for even cooking. If using baby carrots, you can leave them whole.

      Make the Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, minced garlic, fresh thyme, honey (if using), salt, and pepper until well combined.

        Coat the Carrots: Place the carrots in a large mixing bowl and pour the garlic butter mixture over them. Toss the carrots until they are evenly coated.

          Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the carrots out in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

            Roast the Carrots: Roast the carrots in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized, stirring halfway through for even cooking.

              Garnish and Serve: Once done, remove from the oven and transfer to a serving dish. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, and serve warm. Enjoy your Garlic Butter Roasted Carrots!
