Notes

The baking time can vary based on how thick your carrots are. You want to cook them until they're fork tender.
Play around with spices for different flavor profiles. Try adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the honey mixture.
You can also use baby carrots if you prefer.
For a change, use equal amounts of maple syrup, agave syrup or even brown sugar.
Any protein such as chicken, turkey, pork or beef goes very well with these carrots.
Try using this honey mixture on different veggies, such as brussels sprouts, asparagus or butternut squash.
Place cooled honey roasted carrots in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for 3-5 days.
