Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In an oven-safe skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Stir in honey and minced garlic until combined.
- Add the carrot pieces to the skillet, tossing gently to ensure they’re well-coated with the honey-garlic mixture.

Notes
For a vegan option, use olive oil instead of butter and agave syrup instead of honey. Add chili flakes for a spicy kick or fresh herbs for an aromatic twist.
