I am always trying to find new recipes for vegetables. Roasting is probably one of my favorite methods of cooking vegetables. I got the idea of using honey and cumin with carrots from my dad who made a similar side dish with carrots but on top of the stove. The combination of honey, cumin and carrots is amazing. The hint of vanilla in the salt is also quite nice.
Ingredients
2 pounds baby carrots
1 teaspoon salt (I used vanilla salt)
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon honey
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 400F
2. Mix carrots, salt, cumin, olive oil, and 2 tablespoons of honey in a large bowl; toss to coat carrots.
3. Spread carrots in a single layer on a baking sheet with sides
4. Bake for 30 minutes, remove from oven and drizzle 1 teaspoon honey over carrots
Excellent hot or cold!
Mangia!

You can cut down the honey if you want to. This weekend I made the carrots again and only used 1 tablespoon of honey before cooking and drizzled 1 teaspoon on after cooking.
