- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- Salt & pepper, to taste

Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect roasting temperature for the carrots.
- Prepare Glaze: In a bowl, whisk together the melted butter, honey, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt and pepper to create a flavorful glaze.

- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the glazed carrots out in a single layer on a baking sheet to ensure even roasting.
