Ingredients

1 lb carrots rinsed, scrubbed and sliced in 1/4 inch rounds
2 tbsp unsalted butter melted
2 tbsp honey
1 tbsp light brown sugar
3/4 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp black pepper

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Spray a 2-quart baking dish with cooking spray or line with parchment paper and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, add the carrots, melted butter, honey, light brown sugar, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together until the carrots are well-coated with the mixture.
Spread the coated carrots in a single layer in the prepared baking dish.
Roast the carrots in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized, stirring halfway through the cooking time to ensure even roasting.
Serve and enjoy.

Notes

For firmer carrots, cook carrots for less time.
Feel free to peel or not peel the carrots. I leave them unpeeled for this method.
You can use baby carrots, but keep in mind that the cooking time will vary, as well as the flavor.
