Honey Roasted Carrots
Description
Honey Roasted Carrots transforms small, peeled carrots into a tender and lightly browned side dish with a touch of natural sweetness from honey. The carrots are coated with olive oil and honey, then roasted at a high temperature until they are caramelized and cooked through. The roasting process enhances their sweetness and softens their texture, with a subtle seasoning of salt and black pepper to complement the flavor. Optional parsley adds a fresh, mild herbal accent when sprinkled before serving. This preparation highlights the natural qualities of carrots with a simple glaze and oven roasting technique.
