Ingredients
  

  • 1.4 kg carrots peeled and trimmed cut evenly for consistent roasting
  • 50 g brown sugar adds a deep caramel sweetness
  • 3 garlic cloves minced for aromatic flavor
  • 40 g butter melted creates a rich glaze
  • 1.5 tablespoon olive oil helps with browning
  • 0.6 teaspoon salt balances sweetness
  • 0.3 teaspoon black pepper adds mild heat
  • 2 tablespoon chopped parsley fresh garnish, optional

Equipment

  • 1 Large baking sheet used for roasting carrots evenly
  • 1 baking tray helps hold ingredients during roasting
  • 1 Large mixing bowl for tossing carrots with glaze
  • 1 Chef's knife for slicing carrots into even pieces
  • 1 Cutting board provides a safe surface for chopping
  • 1 Measuring spoons for accurate seasoning amounts
  • 1 Oven needed for roasting at high heat

Method
 

  1. Warm the oven to 425°F (220°C) for standard heat or 400°F (200°C) for convection.
  2. Slice the carrots on a diagonal into medium lengths, halving thicker pieces for uniform cooking.
  3. Combine carrots with brown sugar, butter, garlic, oil, salt, and pepper until fully coated, then spread onto a baking sheet.
  4. Roast for 15 minutes, stir to redistribute, then continue roasting about 10 minutes more until tender with caramelized edges.
  5. Turn carrots in the leftover glaze on the tray and finish with parsley before serving.
