01 -

The honey creates this incredible candy-like coating that makes even carrot skeptics reach for seconds
Its embarrassingly simple but looks and tastes like something from a fancy restaurant
The recipe scales beautifully whether you are cooking for two or feeding a holiday crowd

02 -

Crowding the baking sheet is the enemy of caramelization so give those carrots some space
Stirring halfway through prevents sticking and ensures even caramelization on all sides

03 -

Let the carrots cool for just 5 minutes before serving so the honey glaze sets slightly
A squeeze of fresh lemon juice right before serving brightens everything wonderfully
