Roasted Brown Butter Honey Garlic Carrots
Description
The recipe starts with browning butter in a saucepan by whisking it over medium-high heat until it froths and gains a nutty aroma and golden-brown color. Honey and chopped garlic are added off heat to preserve their flavors. Large carrot pieces are tossed in this warm sauce ensuring even coating, then spread in a single layer on a baking sheet and seasoned with salt and black pepper.
Covered with foil, the carrots roast in a 425°F oven initially for 10 minutes to soften. Removing the foil allows further roasting for 5 to 10 minutes, developing tender vegetables with browned and slightly caramelized surfaces. The final garnish of parsley adds fresh color and brightness.
This dish suits meals needing a sweet and savory vegetable side and benefits from the rich browned butter flavor combined with a gentle honey sweetness. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds carrot peeled and cut into 2 inch pieces, large
- 1/2 cup butter
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 garlic chopped, cloves
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- parsley chopped for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
- In a medium saucepan add the butter and cook over medium-high heat. Continue to whisk for a few minutes until the butter starts to become frothy and brown.
- Once the butter is browned, add the honey and garlic and remove from heat.
- Peel the large carrots and cut them up into 2-inch pieces. In a large bowl add the carrots and drizzle the sauce on top. Toss until evenly coated and spread onto a large baking sheet in a single layer. Season with salt and pepper.
- Cover with foil and bake for 10 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes to brown the carrots until they are tender and roasted.
- Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Brown the butter carefully to develop a nutty flavor without burning it.
- Toss the carrots evenly in the honey garlic butter sauce before roasting for thorough flavor coating.
- Cover with foil during initial roasting to ensure tenderness, then uncover to brown the carrots.
- Serve immediately after roasting to enjoy the best texture and flavor.
