- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ¼ cup Blue cheese crumbles (see note 3)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 430ºF/220°C.
- Cut the carrots into chunks about 2"/ 5cm in length. Cut the thicker chunks in half lengthwise so that all your chunks are roughly the same length and width.8 carrots
- Place the carrots on a heavy-duty roasting tray and drizzle with oil. Toss the carrots to ensure they are fully coated. (I find my hands are the best way to do this)2 tbsp olive oil
- Spread the carrots out on the tray and roast for 35 minutes, turning once.
- While the carrots are roasting, combine the sauce ingredients in a small bowl or jug.¼ cup hot sauce2 tbsp honey½ tsp onion powder½ tsp garlic powder½ tsp smoked paprika
- Remove the carrots from the oven and pour over the sauce. Stir to coat them and roast for a further 10 minutes. (Keep a close eye on them so the sauce doesn't burn)
- Remove from the oven and transfer to a serving dish. Sprinkle with the blue cheese crumbles and serve.¼ cup blue cheese crumbles

Notes
- I use regular carrots and cut them into chunks. You can use baby carrots if you prefer, but they won't need to be cooked for as long.
- Use any hot sauce that you and your family enjoy. I use Franks.
- You can buy crumbled blue cheese at most grocery stores. You can also crumble it yourself. It is much easier and far less messy to do this when the cheese is cold.
