# How-To Steps:

02 - In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, honey, salt, and pepper until well combined.
03 - Add the carrots to the bowl and toss thoroughly to ensure each piece is evenly coated with the honey mixture.
04 - Spread the carrots out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded for proper caramelization.

06 - Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with fresh herbs if desired. Serve warm alongside your main course.

# Helpful Tips:

01 -
  • The honey creates these gorgeous caramelized edges that make carrots taste like candy from the farmers market
  • It takes literally five minutes of hands on time but looks like something from a restaurant menu
  • Even people who swear they hate vegetables will ask for seconds
02 -
  • Don't crowd the pan or the carrots will steam instead of roast, and youll miss out on those crispy edges
  • The honey can burn quickly, so keep an eye on them during the last five minutes of cooking
03 -
  • Cut your carrots into similarly sized pieces so they all finish roasting at the same time
  • Let the pan cool for a few minutes before trying to transfer the carrots or theyll stick
