Ingredients

  • 2 large carrots , tops removed, peeled and sliced cut on the diagonal into 2-inch lengths (if thick, slice in half again lengthwise).
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
  • ½ tablespoon salted butter , melted

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spread cut carrots on a foil lined baking sheet.

  • Bake until tender, about 20 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and place carrots in a medium sized bowl. Toss with melted butter and serve immediately.

Notes

Expert Tips
  • To ensure even cooking, cut the carrots to roughly the same size.
  • To achieve beautiful browning and crisp, roasted perfection, vegetables need to be arranged in a single layer on the pan.
  • Roast the carrots at 400 F. The high temperature allows the vegetables to be perfectly crisp on the outsides and cooked on the insides.
