01 -

The honey creates these beautiful sticky caramelized edges that make eating vegetables feel indulgent
They transform humble carrots into something guests actually get excited about
Requires almost zero active cooking time, just a quick toss and the oven does the work

02 -

Do not overcrowd your baking sheet or the carrots will steam instead of roast, missing out on that caramelization magic
The honey can burn quickly at high heat, so keep an eye on them during the last few minutes
These carrots are best served warm but they're also surprisingly good at room temperature for picnics

03 -

Buy carrots with their greens still attached if possible, they're usually fresher and sweeter
If your carrots are particularly thick, cut them in half lengthwise so they cook evenly
The glaze will be sticky and hot, so let them cool for just a few minutes before serving
