Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Prepare Glaze: In a large mixing bowl, combine the honey, melted butter, and minced garlic. Whisk together until well mixed.
Coat Carrots: Add the peeled and cut carrot sticks to the bowl with the honey-garlic-butter mixture. Toss the carrots thoroughly until they are evenly coated with the glaze.
Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the coated carrot sticks in a single, even layer on a baking sheet that has been lined with parchment paper. This prevents sticking and helps with even caramelization.
Season: Sprinkle the carrots with salt and pepper to your taste.
Roast Carrots: Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 25 to 30 minutes, or until the carrots are tender when pierced with a fork and are beginning to caramelize around the edges. The exact baking time may vary depending on the thickness of your carrot sticks.
Toss and Glaze: Once the carrots are roasted, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Give the carrots a good toss on the baking sheet to coat them with any remaining honey-garlic-butter glaze.
Garnish and Serve: Transfer the baked honey garlic butter roasted carrots to a serving dish. If desired, garnish with fresh chopped parsley for a touch of color and freshness. Serve warm and enjoy this delightful side dish!
