Provided by Charlotte J

Categories     Vegetable

Time 50m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons butter, softened
1/4 cup crumbled precooked bacon
4 cups baby carrots
2 tablespoons water

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees.
  • Stir together honey, butter and crumbled bacon in a small bowl until smooth and set aside.
  • Place carrots and water into an ungreased 9-by-9-inch baking dish, cover with foil and bake 30 minutes.
  • Remove foil and stir in butter mixture.
  • Bake another 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Tips:

  • Choose the right carrots: Look for young, tender carrots with smooth skin and no blemishes. Avoid carrots that are too large, as they may be woody.
  • Roast the carrots at a high temperature: This will help to caramelize the carrots and give them a slightly crispy exterior.
  • Use a variety of seasonings: Salt, pepper, and olive oil are all essential, but you can also add other seasonings like cumin, coriander, or paprika for a more flavorful dish.
  • Roast the carrots until they are tender: The carrots should be tender enough to easily pierce with a fork, but not so soft that they fall apart.
  • Serve the carrots immediately: Roasted carrots are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven. You can serve them as a side dish or as a vegetarian main course.

Conclusion:

These delicious Sweet Roasted Carrots are easy to make and packed with flavor. They're perfect for a weeknight meal, weekend brunch, or holiday gathering. You can roast carrots in the oven, on the stovetop, or even in your air fryer. No matter how you choose to roast them, you'll end up with a side dish that is sure to please everyone at the table.
