These Honey Butter Roasted Carrots are the perfect Thanksgiving Side Dish! They are super tender with a sweet honey butter glaze.

Carrots are a pretty traditional side dish for holidays like Thanksgiving or Christmas because they pretty much go with anything. They add a nice light sweetness to all of the heavy, savory dishes like potatoes or stuffing. Of course carrots are sweet on their own, but add a little honey butter and oh man they are over the top delicious!

How to make Honey Butter Roasted Carrots

The roasting process at a high temperature helps to caramelize the honey butter carrots and create a nice, sticky sweet glaze around each piece. They not only look beautiful, but they taste pretty darn amazing.

I like to use baby carrots because they are generally pretty uniform in size, and that’s important when roasting vegetables. You want them to cook evenly – there’s nothing worse than biting into a hard, crunchy carrot in the midst of all those tender soft ones. So if you do plan to use large carrots, make sure to slice them as evenly as possible.

The honey butter is pretty straight-forward. A sweet combination of honey and butter with a little brown sugar is mixed together then coats the carrots. As they are roasting this honey butter creates a delicious glaze that you’ll wish you could just lap up with a spoon.

These Honey Butter Roasted Carrots are gorgeous on their own, but if you’d like to add some color, try garnishing with some fresh chopped thyme or parsley.
