I love carrots and usually enjoy them raw or quickly stir-fried and crunchy. I decided to mix it up a little today and roast them in the oven, with just a touch of honey to bring out the natural sweetness of the carrots. This is a simple and easy side dish to go with any dinner.
Ingredients:
1 bag or bunch of carrots
2 tablespoons of olive oil
1 tablespoon of butter
1 tablespoon of honey
1/2 tablespoon of parsley flakes
salt and pepper to taste
Preheat the oven to 425F. Wash, peel and cut the carrots into pieces (may not be necessary if you are using baby carrots), trying to keep them as equal size as possible so that they can cook evenly. Place the carrots on a baking sheet and drizzle with the olive oil. Sprinkle the salt and pepper over them, and place in the oven. Melt the tablespoon of butter and mix with the honey and parsley flakes. After the carrots have been roasting for about 10 minutes, drizzle the honey glaze over them and then continue to roast for another 5-10 minutes. Watch for the carrots to be slightly brown at the edges, and then take them out. Enjoy!
