Honey Roasted Carrots
Honey Roasted Carrots feature sliced fresh carrots coated with melted butter and honey, then roasted until caramelized and tender. Seasoned simply with salt and black pepper, the natural sweetness of the carrots intensifies through roasting, producing a soft interior with lightly crisp edges. Optional fresh parsley adds a subtle herbaceous note. This straightforward side dish complements a range of main courses and provides a warm, subtly sweet vegetable option.
