Main Ingredients
- 1 lb Carrots Fresh, vibrant carrots; baby carrots can save prep time.
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil Flavored oil can be used for added depth.
- 3 tbsp Honey Can be substituted with maple syrup or agave nectar.
- 2 tbsp Butter Vegan butter works well for a dairy-free alternative.

Preparation
- Wash the carrots thoroughly. Peel if using larger carrots and cut into evenly sized pieces.
Cooking

- Toss prepared carrot pieces with the butter-honey-garlic mixture until evenly coated.
- Spread the carrots in a single layer on a lined baking sheet.
- Roast for about 25–30 minutes, tossing halfway through for even browning.
