Christina's Notes
- Dry the Carrots First: Pat baby carrots dry before roasting to prevent steaming. This helps them caramelize instead of turning mushy.
- Use a Hot Oven: Roast at 400–425°F to get that golden, slightly crisp exterior. A high temp brings out the carrots’ natural sweetness and helps the glaze stick.
- Make the Glaze Separately: Melt butter and stir in honey and minced garlic in a saucepan before tossing with carrots. This ensures even coating and deeper flavor.
- Don’t Crowd the Pan: Spread carrots in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Overcrowding leads to steaming instead of roasting.
- Broil for a Final Touch: After roasting, broil for 1–2 minutes to intensify caramelization. Watch closely—this step adds irresistible texture and color.
