Ingredients

1 lb (450g) baby carrots, peeled and trimmed

3 tablespoons honey

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 teaspoon olive oil

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)

Optional: a sprinkle of sesame seeds for added crunch

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Prepare the Glaze: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the honey, butter, olive oil, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Stir until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth and well combined.

Treat the Carrots: Place the baby carrots in a large mixing bowl. Pour the honey glaze over the carrots and toss well until they are evenly coated.

Roasting the Carrots: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the glazed carrots in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not overcrowded to ensure even roasting.

Bake: Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and slightly caramelized. Stir halfway through for even cooking.

Garnish and Serve: Once done, remove the carrot bites from the oven and transfer them to a serving bowl. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and sesame seeds if desired. Serve warm for the best flavor!
