Honey Garlic Butter Roasted Carrots

Ingredients:

• 2 pounds carrots, washed and peeled (or unpeeled)
• 1/3 cup butter
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4–1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more for seasoning
• 1 pinch cracked black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet.
2. Trim carrot ends and cut into thirds.
3. In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Stir in honey until fully combined.
4. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
5. Toss carrots in the sauce and cook for 1 minute until slightly thickened. Season with salt and pepper.
6. Spread carrots on the baking sheet in one layer and toss to coat evenly.
