- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready for roasting the carrots.

- Coat Carrots: Add the carrot sticks to the bowl and toss thoroughly until each piece is evenly coated with the honey garlic glaze, ensuring maximum flavor.
- Arrange for Roasting: Spread the coated carrots evenly on a baking sheet in a single layer so they roast uniformly without steaming.
