Peeled carrots bring a perfect texture after roasting.
Then I prepared hot sauce and coat the carrots with spicy honey garlic sauce.

Roast for about 20 minutes on 200 degrees / 400 F or Gas Mark 6. You can increase the time as per your oven requirements and also how much roasting effect that you want.
Don't forget to sprinkle honey garlic sauce (I took out about 2 teaspoon from the pan before putting it to roasting). Also, sprinkle salt and peppers to add more taste! Garnish with chopped cilantro or parsley.

Q & A
I always peel carrots before making as it gives the best texture after cooking. Peeled carrots look so clean and smooth. It also helps to remove dirt.
You can cut carrots as per your requirements as you like them. If you want small pieces then make them small. Normally people cut it in crosswise pieces. Longer pieces look good after roasting. If you have thick carrots as I had then cut them into sections. If you have thin carrots then simply cut it diagonal shape.
Carrots are naturally sweet, bitter and earthy in taste. You can use honey, jaggery, brown sugar to enhance the natural sweetness of carrots. In the same way, garlic, ginger, and onions make a perfect flavor with butter to cook/bake carrots. To make it hot and spicy, add black pepper or chili flakes.
You can add celery, broccoli, red potatoes, brussel sprouts and radish. Roasted potatoes, carrots and parsnip make the best taste in oven.
Yes, you can! Heat up the pan with butter and saute freshly chopped garlic. As the garlic changes the color, add honey and ketchup. Season with salt and pepper. Give it a good mix. Now add baby carrots and cook on slow heat. If the sauce is thick then give a splash of water. Cover and cook on extremely slow heat for 5 to 10 minutes. Serve as a side with your main course.
Yes, you can replace ketchup with tomato paste.
