This Garlic Butter Roasted Carrots recipe features tender baby carrots roasted to perfection with a flavorful blend of melted butter, garlic powder, and dried parsley. Easy to prepare and perfect as a side dish, these carrots are garnished with fresh parsley for a vibrant finish.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 kilogram frozen baby carrots, defrosted for one hour
  • 1/3 cup salted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for roasting the carrots.
  2. Prepare Carrots: Place the defrosted baby carrots in a 9-inch by 13-inch baking dish or equivalent size, spreading them evenly.
  3. Mix Butter and Seasoning: Combine the melted salted butter with garlic powder and dried parsley, mixing well to incorporate all the flavors.
  4. Coat Carrots: Drizzle the butter mixture over the baby carrots, then toss thoroughly to ensure all carrots are evenly coated.
  5. Roast Carrots: Roast the carrots in the preheated oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for about 25 minutes, or until they are just barely fork tender.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Once roasted, remove the carrots from the oven and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley if desired, then serve warm.

Notes

  • If using fresh baby carrots instead of frozen, blanch them in boiling water for about 3 minutes before roasting to ensure tenderness.
  • If using unsalted butter, add 1/2 teaspoon salt to the melted butter to enhance flavor.
  • For a vegan version, substitute butter with your preferred vegan butter alternative.
  • You can adjust the garlic powder and parsley quantities according to your taste preferences.
  • Using a well-sized baking dish (9x13 inches) ensures even cooking and roasting.
