Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

- Place the cut carrots on a large baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, honey, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until combined.
- Pour the honey garlic butter mixture over the carrots and toss them well to coat every piece evenly.
