If you follow me on Instagram or Facebook, you may have seen my EXPECTATION VS. REALITY pictures of when I picked my carrots out of my garden. Well I asked for your advice on what to make, and boy did you all come through with SO many suggestions!! One of which came from Pyure my all time favorite, non-refined sugar!!!
They may look goofy, but MANNNNN they sure tasted GOOD!!!!! I left them in the ground for probably 4 months, because every time I would check one…they were puny. So glad I left them in that long. Also learned that if you thin them when they first start to grow, the ones left will get much bigger. At least this is what I’m assuming since I never thin mine. They just looked so beautiful and lush that I didn’t wanna interrupt their groove ya know??
I absolutely LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! carrots, which explains why my mom, and myself ate almost the entire 9×13 of carrots ourselves. My dad doesn’t like sweet things that he deems should be savory. Needless to say, we we’re happy there were more for us!!
We use Honey from Sam’s Club because we use it quite a bit for making bread, and bagels. (An essential staple) You can find my bagel recipes on my blog too. I’ll link my favorite Healthy, Blueberry bagels! (Vegan option) Then you can check out the rest through that link!!
The Olive oil, we kinda get from wherever is cheapest but still pure. We try to get the stuff in glass bottles, (Which I linked reusable ones here) as stuff stored in plastic absorbs the plastic and chemicals in it. I haven’t done a whole lot of research on which olive oils are the best to use, so I’m definitely not an expert on the matter.
So you should definitely make these ASAP! I made them twice within 2 days because THEY…ARE…THAT…GOOD!!! Also keep an eye out for more carrot recipes to come, because believe it or not, I still have carrots left. Plus i’ll let you guys in on a lil secret, because I like ya that much!! An apple, fall-goodness recipe is coming soon too!! Feel free to comment, pin, message, email me or whatever!! I am always open for recipe suggestions and tips or tricks on any kind!! I’d love hearing from you guys!! I do make a percentage from anything you buy clicking through using my links, unless of course it’s a link for another web-page that isn’t amazon.
Honey Roasted Carrots
Ingredients
- 1-2 lbs. Raw Carrots (Quartered)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1-2 tbsp Honey (Maple Syrup for Vegan option)
- Salt & Pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Peel, cut, and quarter the carrots. You want them kinda small so they cook faster. Put them in a 9x13 pyrex dish
- Drizzle olive oil and honey (or maple syrup) on top.
- Sprinkle with desired amount of salt and pepper, then toss with hands or a spoon to coat all the carrots.
- Cover with aluminum foil (to steam them) for the first 30-40 minutes. When they're desired tenderness, take the foil off for the last 5-10 minutes to roast. This gives them a nice glazed and roasted flavor!!
