Dark honeys, like buckwheat, bring a touch of earthy sweetness to these lightly glazed beauties. The gremolata, made with the frilly green carrot tops, make a delicious and pretty finishing touch while adding to your #wasteless repertoire. If bunched carrots with tops aren't available, use parsley for the gremolata instead.

Steps:
- Combine carrots, butter, orange juice, honey, and 1 tsp. salt in a large wide heavy pot. Cover and cook over medium heat until carrots are crisp-tender, 10-12 minutes.
- Meanwhile, rinse about 1 bunch worth of carrot tops and pat dry. Coarsely chop to yield about 2/3 cup. Combine tops with garlic, lemon zest, oil, and 1/4 tsp. salt in a small bowl.
- Uncover carrots and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce reduces enough to coat carrots, 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in lemon juice and cayenne; adjust seasonings.
- Transfer carrots to a platter and top with carrot top gremolata.
