Garlic Butter Roasted Carrots

2 lbs carrots, diagonally cut into about 2- to 3-inch pieces
5 tbs butter
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
chopped fresh parsley, optional

Preheat oven to 425.  Grease a baking sheet and set aside.  Cut up carrots and set aside.  Melt butter over medium heat, then add garlic and cook for 3 minutes, stirring very frequently so garlic doesn't burn.  Toss the carrots with the garlic butter (this can be done in the baking dish), arrange in one layer and bake for 22 to 30 minutes, or until carrots are tender.  Season to taste and serve.
