1 lb baby carrots: The star of the dish. Their small size and natural sweetness shine through when roasted.
2 tbsp honey: Adds a sweet glaze that caramelizes beautifully while roasting.
1 tbsp olive oil: Helps prevent the carrots from sticking to the baking sheet and contributes to a delicious crunchy texture.
2 cloves garlic minced: Provides a robust flavor that balances the sweetness of honey.
1/2 tsp salt: Enhances the overall flavor of the dish and brings out the sweetness of the carrots.
1/4 tsp black pepper: Adds a hint of spice that contrasts nicely with the sweetness.
1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped: Offers a fresh, herbal finish that brightens the dish visually and in flavor.

Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This temperature will give your carrots a lovely roast.
Prepare the baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier later.
Combine the ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, toss 1 lb baby carrots with 1 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp honey, 2 cloves of minced garlic, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper until the carrots are evenly coated. Make sure every carrot gets that delicious glaze!
Arrange the carrots: Spread the coated carrots evenly onto the prepared baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding them, as this will ensure even roasting.
Roast the carrots: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through. You’ll know they’re ready when they are fork-tender and nicely caramelized.
Garnish and serve: Once roasted, sprinkle 1 tbsp of fresh chopped parsley over the carrots for a fresh touch. Serve immediately, and enjoy your savory-sweet creation!
