To Make These Garlic Butter Roasted Carrots Set out:

carrots
unsalted butter
garlic
kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper
minced fresh parsley

Preheat your oven to 425℉ (or 220℃) and peel and roll cut 2 pounds of carrots.

What Is A Roll Cut?

A roll cut or oblique cut, is a technique where you cut food (typically done with long vegetables like: carrots, parsnips and zucchini) in way in which it gives the food two angled sides. This method promotes even cooking/roasting and visual appeal when served!

Spray a large, rimmed metal baking pan with olive oil and spread the carrots out evenly. Spray with olive oil and a small pinch or two of kosher salt. Roast on the middle rack of your preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes or until tender.

Meanwhile, in a deep-sided skillet, add 1/4 cup of butter with 4 cloves minced garlic and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt.

Stir and heat on medium-low. Once the garlic is sizzling, cook for 30 seconds. Remove the skillet off of the heat.

Once the carrots are roasted and caramelized in spots, transfer them to the skillet with the garlic butter.

If for some reason or another your carrots don’t caramelize, move them up in your oven and turn on the broiler. Watch carefully!

Lastly, toss with a tablespoon of minced fresh parsley.

Serve the roasted carrots with lots of freshly ground black pepper.
