Honey Roasted Whole Carrots are the perfect accompaniment for any weeknight meal. Carrots are tossed in olive oil and honey, then dusted with cayenne pepper for a delightful sweet-spicy kick.
Carrots were one of my favorite snacks as a kid, and I could easily take down a bag of baby carrots in one sitting because they were so darn good.
Then my sister discovered she was allergic — highly allergic — to carrots… and we all stopped eating them in her presence.
It’s been years since I cooked a carrot — or really did anything but chop them as a part mirepoix to start a dish — but recently, I decided it was time.
So I took a few of my favorite ingredients, tossed the carrots in them, and roasted them until they were fork tender.
The end result?
Spectacular! The carrots are sweet with a kick of heat from the cayenne. And they melt in your mouth as you eat them.
