Ingredients

2 pounds whole carrots - peeled and sliced
3 cloves garlic - minced
2 Tablespoons olive oil
2 Tablespoons unsalted butter
2 Tablespoons brown sugar
2 Tablespoons honey
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper - to taste
chopped cilantro - to serve

Instructions

Prep. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Place a piece of parchment paper on a large sheet pan.
Prep carrots. Peel whole carrots. Then use a sharp knife to slice into like sizes for even roasting. The smaller end of the carrots won't need to be sliced in half like the larger pieces. Add to a large bowl and top with the freshly minced garlic.
2 pounds whole carrots, 3 cloves garlic
Combine wet mixture. Combine melted butter, olive oil, brown sugar, and honey in a measuring cup. Stir well.
2 Tablespoons unsalted butter, 2 Tablespoons olive oil, 2 Tablespoons brown sugar, 2 Tablespoons honey
Add wet mixture to carrots. Drizzle the wet mixture over the carrots and garlic, and stir well to combine. Add salt and pepper to taste.
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Roast carrots. Add carrots to the prepared baking sheet and spread evenly to all sides. Roast in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Stir and then roast again for another 10-15 minutes, or until the carrots are soft in the center.
Baking time may vary according to the size of your carrots.
Serve. Add some chopped cilantro (or parsley) to the roasted carrots. Serve as a side to any main course (or eat a bowl plain like I did).
chopped cilantro

Notes

You can roast the carrots ahead and reheat them in the oven at 350 degrees F for 10 minutes (or more as needed) before serving.
You may want to double this recipe for a large group. In that case, use two sheet pans.
Store leftover carrots in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
