Roasted Honey Carrots

Sweet, savoury and beautifully caramelised, these roasted honey carrots are an easy side dish that brings warmth and colour to any meal.

Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 30–35 minutes
Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 750 g carrots
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon melted butter
• ½ teaspoon sea salt
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Duck Lagoon Honey
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, to garnish

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan-forced) and line a large baking tray with baking paper.
2. Peel the carrots and cut them lengthways into evenly sized pieces. Smaller carrots can be left whole.
3. Place the carrots in a mixing bowl. Drizzle with the olive oil and melted butter, season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, then toss until evenly coated.
4. Spread the carrots in a single layer on the prepared tray and roast for 20 minutes.
5. Remove the tray from the oven, drizzle the honey over the carrots and toss gently to coat.
6. Return to the oven for another 10–15 minutes, turning once, until the carrots are tender and lightly caramelised.
7. Transfer to a serving dish, spoon over any glaze remaining on the tray and garnish with chopped parsley.
