Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine melted butter, olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper. Toss carrots in the mixture until coated.
Spread carrots in a single layer on the baking sheet. Roast for 20–25 minutes, stirring halfway, until tender and lightly caramelized.
Sprinkle with parsley and serve warm.

Notes

For extra flavor: Add a teaspoon of fresh thyme or rosemary to the butter mixture before roasting.
Make them sweet and savory: Drizzle 1–2 teaspoons of honey or maple syrup over the carrots before roasting for a subtle sweetness.
Adjusting cooking time: If using larger carrots cut into thick pieces, add 5–10 minutes to the roasting time.
To make ahead: Roast the carrots, let them cool, and store in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat at 350°F for 10–15 minutes.
Serving idea: Sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the carrots when they come out of the oven for a cheesy finish.
