Roasted Brown Butter Honey Garlic Carrots
I recently went with some of my blog BFF’s to San Francisco. We had such an amazing time touring the sites. But lets be honest. It is all about the FOOD when we travel! One of my favorite places was Humphry’s Ice cream. Their ice cream is so good that I would move to San Francisco just to be closer to it. You will be blown away with their delicious and creamy ice cream. We went there every single day that they were there. My absolute favorite flavor had brown butter in the ice cream!
Brown butter is life. I am convinced that it makes everything better. I knew I needed to create something with this perfect combination. I made these carrots only once and they turned out more than perfect. They are soft, a little crispy and had just the right amount of flavor to them. My family ate these carrots before we even finished sitting down together. They are simple to make and taste just as good!

Do Carrots Have to be Peeled before Cooking?
When it comes down to it, you don’t ever really have to peel carrots. As long as you wash and scrub them well to remove dirt and any debris, unpeeled carrots are perfectly safe (and delicious) to eat.Some people don’t like the taste of carrot skin and say it has an unpleasant, bitter taste.
As I was trying to think of how to jazz up these carrots I knew that brown butter had to be involved. Brown butter is just that extra step to adding a rich and nutty flavor to what you are making. I combined this nutty buttery flavor with a little bit of sweet. Plus garlic. Garlic is also an amazing ingredient. All of these things combine to bring you the best carrots of your life!
The carrots get tossed in this amazing sauce and then they roast in the oven. I love to roast my veggies because it gives them a tender center and a crisp edge. It only takes about 15 minutes until these carrots are done and they are going to really be the star of the dinner table.
They make such a perfect side to your next meal. I promise that you will agree that these carrots are the best that you have ever had!
Can You Cook Carrots Ahead of Time?
Carrots may be prepared up to 3 days ahead to this point. Cover and refrigerate. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring and tossing constantly, until carrots are tender and well glazed, about 5 minutes.
How Do You Store Carrots?
Allow carrots to cool completely. Transfer the cooled carrots to an airtight container and cover with a lid. The carrots will store well for up to 2 days in the refrigerator.
