Ingredients
- 2 pounds whole carrots, peeled (1/2 inch thick, not all of them will be used)
- 1 pound bacon, thin-sliced
- 1/4 cup honey
- salt & pepper to taste
- fresh parsley (optional for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Select 12 carrots of similar size and thickness from the package. Wash and peel carrots. Leave the carrots whole, do not cut the ends off.
- Wrap a piece of bacon tightly around each carrot. Overlap the ends so the bacon is secured. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Place on the prepared baking sheet and roast for 30 minutes or until carrots are soft and bacon is starting to crisp.
- In a microwaveable bowl, warm the honey for 20 seconds to help make the honey easier to glaze. Brush the carrots with warm honey.
- Return the carrots back to the oven for the last 5 minutes. Remove when the honey starts to bubble and the bacon is golden and crisp. If you want the bacon crispier, you can turn the oven to broil for about 1 minute, but watch it very closely or it will burn.
- Remove carrots from the oven and serve! If desired, garnish carrots with fresh chopped parsley.

Notes
- A grill or smoker can also be used in place of the oven. Just cook the carrots directly on the grill grates.
- Maple syrup can also be used in place of the honey. Or a combination of honey and maple syrup.
- This amounts of this recipe should use about 12 whole carrots and 12 pieces of bacon.
- It can be tricky to find 12 carrots of equal thickness in one package. It helps to get a 2 lb bag so there are plenty of different size options to choose from.
