Market

• 2 pounds carrots, peeled
• 1/4 cup honey
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons melted butter or ghee
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

•  

INSTRUCTIONS 

• Preheat your oven to 425F/220C. Then, cut the carrots on a diagonal, about 1″-1.5″ in length. If your carrots are large and thick, you can slice them in half as well.
  In a mixing bowl, toss the sliced carrots with the honey, garlic, butter, oil, and spices.
  Pour the carrots and glaze onto a sheet pan and spread them out.
  Roast for 20-25 minutes, tossing halfway through. You can also broil for 2-3 minutes, to get caramelization on the edges. Transfer carrots to a serving dish and garnish with chopped herbs.

TIPS

• To Freeze: Use a freezer-safe bag or container and store for up to 3 months.
• For Reheating: Simply reheat in the microwave until the carrots are warmed through.

IT’S ALL ABOUT THE HONEY GLAZE

• Honey: You can use clover, wildflower, or any variety of honey you like.
• Garlic: A little bit of minced garlic perfectly balances the sweetness.
• Butter: Helps to give carrots that glossy finish and rich flavor.
• Olive oil: Just a little bit helps to prevent the butter from burning.
• Ground spices: I love ginger and cinnamon which play nicely with the carrots’ sweetness.
• Fresh herbs: before serving spread the herbs
