Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound carrots, peeled and cut into sticks Fresh, organic carrots yield the best flavor.
  • 2 tablespoons honey or brown sugar Adjust sweetness to preference.
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional) Adds color and flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, mix the carrot sticks, honey or brown sugar, melted butter, salt, and pepper until well-coated.
  3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the carrot mixture in a single layer.
Cooking
  1. Roast the carrots in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, tossing them halfway through for even cooking.
  2. Once tender and caramelized, remove from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.

Notes

Store leftover glazed carrots in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-5 days. They can be reheated in the microwave or oven. For variations, consider using maple syrup instead of honey, adding herbs before roasting, or drizzling with balsamic vinegar.
