What goes well with crockpot honey garlic carrots?

  • These garlic butter roasted carrots pair well with a beef main dish such as Slow Cooker Beef Tips or Slow Cooker Meatloaf.
  • Roasted veggies like these carrots also pair perfectly with chicken-based main courses like this Chicken and Stuffing or Slow Cooker Whole Beer Chicken.
  • You can’t go wrong with throwing these honey garlic carrots alongside some Dr. Pepper Ribs or a Honey Apple Pork Loin.

When serving this side dish, don’t forget to drizzle some of the honey garlic butter sauce over them and add a few sprinkles of fresh parsley on top. These are genuinely the best carrots for any meal!

Recipe FAQs and Variations

Can I use baby carrots in this roasted carrots recipe?

Yes. Using baby carrots will reduce prep time as you won’t need to shave or peel the fresh carrots.

What other herbs go well with this?

Fresh chopped parsley and fresh thyme help add a seasonal flavor to these carrots in addition to the rosemary.

Can I cook these in the oven?

Absolutely. Follow the prep directions and place the carrots on a baking sheet (prepped with olive oil or a nonstick cooking spray). Roast carrots at 425 for about 30 minutes or until fork tender. Then broil them for 2-3 minutes.

How do I store leftover carrots?

Put any remaining carrots into an airtight container and store them in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat on the stovetop over medium heat until warmed throughout, or use the microwave.
