Honey Orange Roasted Carrots
Honey Orange Roasted Carrots combine tender roasted carrots with a glossy honey and bitter orange marmalade glaze. The baking process caramelizes the natural sugars in the carrots while the citrus notes add bright contrast. A light seasoning of salt and pepper enhances the overall flavor, making these carrots a flavorful but simple side dish. Optional garnishes like fresh parsley or cheeses such as feta or Parmesan provide added freshness and a creamy, salty finish.
