Equipment
- Rimmed Sheet Pan
Ingredients
- 2 pounds carrots
- 3 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoon honey (local if you can get your hands on it)
- 1 tsp. kosher salt
- ½ tsp. freshly ground black pepper
- Pinch cayenne pepper
- Flaky sea salt for serving
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place a large rimmed baking sheet into the oven as it preheats.
- Meanwhile, peel and chop the carrots into 1-inch chunks. Set aside.
- In a large glass bowl, whisk together the olive oil, honey, salt, pepper, and cayenne. Add in the carrots and stir to coat.
- When oven is preheated, (carefully) pour the glazed carrots onto the hot baking sheet. Carefully spread into a single layer.
- Roast carrots in preheat oven for 45 minutes, stirring after 20 minutes. Or until carrots are fork tender and show some charring.
- Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and parsley before serving.
- Store any leftover carrots in an airtight container in the fridge for up to five days.
Notes
- If you don’t like spice – don’t worry! These carrots are just as delicious without cayenne and it can simply be omitted.
