Roasted Carrots with Honey and Butter

Carrots are roasted until tender and their natural sugars develop a rich, golden hue. They are then tossed with melted butter and drizzled with fragrant honey. These carrots achieve a perfect balance of sweetness and richness. Fresh herbs such as thyme, parsley, basil or rosemary add a burst of aromatic freshness. Roasted Roasted Carrots with Honey and Butter is an easy-to-make, crowd-pleasing dish that pairs beautifully with roasted meats and grilled dishes.

Many forget carrots as a side dish, but they shouldn’t. Carrots are rich in beta-carotene, which the body converts into vitamin A, essential for good vision, immune function and skin health.
