# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Transforms ordinary carrots into something extraordinary with just five minutes of prep
  • The honey creates these beautiful caramelized edges that make even carrot skeptics ask for seconds
02 -
  • Dont crowd the baking sheet or the carrots will steam instead of roast, missing out on those crispy edges
  • The honey can burn quickly at high heat, so keep an eye on them during the last few minutes
03 -
  • For more even cooking, try to cut your carrot pieces into similar sizes so they roast at the same rate
  • If your honey has crystallized, warm the jar in hot water for a few minutes to make it easier to measure and mix
