Ingredients
  

1 pound of fresh carrots, peeled and cut into even-sized sticks

3 tablespoons unsalted butter

2 tablespoons honey

3 garlic cloves, minced

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Optional: a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds for extra crunch

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Prepare the Butter Mixture: In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the unsalted butter, honey, minced garlic, and olive oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals until the butter is melted and everything is well mixed. Stir to combine.

      Prepare the Carrots: In a large mixing bowl, add the carrot sticks and pour the melted honey garlic butter mixture over them. Toss well to coat all the carrots evenly.

        Season: Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste, and toss again to ensure thorough seasoning.

          Roast the Carrots: Spread the coated carrots in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and caramelized, stirring halfway through for even roasting.

            Serve: Once roasted, remove the carrots from the oven and let them cool slightly. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and, if desired, a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds for added texture. Serve warm as a delightful side dish.
