Ingredients
- 1 lb carrots, cut into sticks
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp fine salt
- 1 tbsp hot honey

- Heat oven to 425°F. Toss carrots with oil and salt, spread on a tray and roast 20–25 minutes, turning once.

Make it work for you
Easier: Use pre-cut carrot sticks of a similar thickness.
Sensory swap: Use plain honey on half to offer two heat levels.
Storage: Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours in a covered container. Use within 3–4 days.
Ingredients and allergens: Check the hot honey and other packaged ingredients for your allergens.
At the counter
Spread the carrots with room between them. Taste a piece with a little hot honey before you toss the whole tray if you’re figuring out how much heat you like.
