Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, honey, salt, and pepper.
Add the carrot sticks to the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated with the lemon garlic mixture.
Arrange the coated carrots in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and lightly browned, stirring halfway through for even roasting.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.

For a spicier kick, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the garlic mixture.
If you prefer softer carrots, roast them for a longer time at a lower temperature (375°F or 190°C).
This recipe pairs well with grilled chicken or roasted fish.
