I love making carrots. Not only are they easy to make with so many delicious flavoring options like Air Fryer Carrots, honey roasted carrots and instant pot carrots with brown sugar glaze, but they are very kid friendly! 

Buttered carrots are perfect for a regular Wednesday night paired with pork chops or slow cooker roast chicken yet are fancy and flavorful enough to serve at a holiday meal paired with instant pot ham.

How to make garlic buttered carrots?

  1. Place baby carrots in baking dish. Baby carrots in baking dish next to ingredients for garlic butter.
  2. In a small bowl add melted butter and garlic powder. Melted butter being poured into small glass bowl.
  3. Add salt and pepper. Salt and pepper in glass bowl with butter and garlic

  7. Roast at 425 degrees for 15 minutes.
  8. Stir and then roast for another 15 minutes.
  9. Remove from oven. Roasted buttered carrots sprinkled with parsley.
  10. Garnish with parsley and enjoy! A red dish filled with buttered carrots on top of of a floral napkin and yellow placemat.

Can I use whole carrots instead of baby carrots?

Baby carrots save a bit of prep time since you don’t have to peel or chop them. However, you can absolutely use whole carrots in this buttered carrots recipe. It just takes a few more minutes of prep. 

To use whole carrots, peel and cut them into 2-inch pieces. Then, follow the directions as outlined in the recipe. The cook time does not change.

  • Pork tenderloin
  • Baked Pesto chicken
  • Crispy Oven Baked Chicken Thighs
  • Steak
  • Cauliflower Mashed Potatoes
  • Green salad
