Notes
- The baking time can vary based on how thick your carrots are. You want to cook them until they're fork tender.
- Play around with spices for different flavor profiles. Try adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the honey mixture.
- You can also use baby carrots if you prefer.
- For a change, use equal amounts of maple syrup, agave syrup or even brown sugar.
- Any protein such as chicken, turkey, pork or beef goes very well with these carrots.
- Try using this honey mixture on different veggies, such as brussels sprouts, asparagus or butternut squash.
- Place cooled honey roasted carrots in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for 3-5 days.
