Roasted Garlic Butter Carrots are a delicious side dish that pairs well with most anything!
[wprm-recipe-jump]
I’ve been trying really hard to get out of the dinnertime rut I’ve been in. Every evening at dinnertime, I stand around trying to figure out what we’re eating, and inevitably fall back on one of our favorites. But I miss the variety and the fun things I used to cook before kids, in that time period when I had plenty of time to cook, and people didn’t fall apart if dinner wasn’t ready on time.
I decided to challenge myself to meal plan again, and to pick 1-2 new recipes to try each week. This last week, I ended up trying 3 new recipes, and they were all delicious, so they’ll earn themselves a spot in the meal planning rotation!
One of those new recipes was these roasted garlic butter carrots. I wanted a vegetable side dish, and roasted carrots just sounded so good.
My whole family loved these. Which is a lot to say for them. Dan usually doesn’t like cooked carrots, and you just never know who is going to like what when you’ve got young kids. But everyone gobbled them up and asked for more!

Roasting carrots is my ultimate favourite way to prepare them!! I’m not a huge fan of garlic, but I’ll take the butter! I can just taste these now…I love the caramelization!
These carrots sound so good! I love the way you can see that they were roasted, so they’ll have a bit of sweetness. The garlic butter would be so tasty with them. Love this recipe. It would be a great side dish!
