Ingredients

Notes

Even Cuts: Cut the carrots into uniform sizes so they cook evenly. If they're different sizes, some may be overcooked while others are still crunchy. Baby Carrots: You can use baby carrots, but check on them a bit earlier when roasting. Garlic Watch: Be careful when cooking the garlic in butter, as it can burn quickly. Keep the heat medium to low and stir frequently to prevent burning. Adjust Sweetness: Feel free to adjust the amount of honey to your taste. Balsamic Glaze: Add a splash of balsamic vinegar to the glaze for a richer and tangier flavor. Make Ahead: Cook the carrots a day in advance and reheat them on the stove before you are ready to serve them. Just toss them in a pan with butter and warm them over medium-low heat until they're heated through and start to brown.
