Hot Honey Carrots
Tender carrots, lightly seasoned and tossed in melted butter and hot honey, then roasted to bring out their natural sweetness. These hot honey carrots pack just enough zing to liven up your veggie routine. Ready in under 30 minutes, this easy side dish comes together quickly - let the oven do the rest.
Ingredients
- 1 lb Fresh Carrots
- 2 teaspoon Butter melted
- 1 tablespoon Hot Honey
- ⅛ teaspoon Salt
- ⅛ teaspoon Pepper
- ⅛ teaspoon Garlic Powder
- ⅛ teaspoon Onion Powder
- Chili Flakes For a little more heat (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425F.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Peel and cut carrots on the diagonal in ¾” chunks or 1”? Set aside.
- Melt butter in a large mixing bowl in the microwave for abut 15 seconds. Add in the hot honey, and all the seasonings. Mix with a spoon.
- Add in the cut carrots and coat all the carrots evenly with the butter/hot honey seasoning.
- Dump coated carrots onto prepared baking sheet. Spread carrots out so that they aren’t too close together. Roast in oven for 20 minutes, stirring and flipping them about halfway through.
- Finish off under the broiler for 5 minutes to get that crispy char. Keep an eye on them under the broiler as they can burn very quickly.
Notes
-
- Feel free to drizzle a little extra hot honey over the roasted carrots in the serving bowl if you like.
- Add a little richness by crumbling in some feta cheese or goat cheese after roasting.
- Prefer a simpler flavor? Just stick with salt, pepper, and hot honey, and skip the additional seasonings for a more carrot-forward dish.
- You can also make this in an air fryer. Preheat, then lay the carrots down in an even layer, leaving space for air flow. Air fry at 380F for 10-12 minutes, stirring/flipping halfway through.
