Best Ever Glazed Carrots
Description
To make Best Ever Glazed Carrots, peeled and diagonally sliced carrots are tossed with olive oil, melted unsalted butter, brown sugar, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. The mixture coats each piece, ensuring even flavor distribution. The carrots are arranged on a baking sheet in a single layer and baked at 400°F. After 10 minutes, stirring helps promote even caramelization and tenderness. Baking another 10 minutes softens the carrots fully while forming a glossy glaze on their surface.
The finished carrots are tender but hold their shape, with sweet caramel notes balanced by buttery richness and a subtle garlic presence. Fresh chopped parsley adds a bright herby touch when served.
This side complements many main dishes, providing a slightly sweet vegetable option that pairs well with roasted meats, poultry, or vegetarian plates.
