Here this roasted carrots!!! , small, firm carrots are coated in an olive oil and honey mixture, then roasted in a hot oven until caramelized. Delicious right!?
Note: Don’t attempt to use bagged baby carrots for this – their water content is too high for this to truly succeed. You want young, firm, dry carrots – the small, 4-5 inch ones that are usually sold in bunches with their greens still attached are perfect.
