Instructions
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. You wanna get that heat just right to get some caramelization happening.
Grab a big bowl and stir together melted butter, olive oil, honey, minced garlic, kosher salt, black pepper, and half the lemon flaked salt. This mixture is where the flavor starts to build.
Toss the baby carrots in the bowl with that buttery honey goodness. Make sure every carrot is well coated so none get left behind in flavor.
Spread your coated carrots in one single layer on a baking sheet. Crowding will steam them instead of roasting, so don’t skimp on space.
Throw the tray in the oven and roast for 25-30 minutes. Halfway through, stir ‘em up so they cook evenly and get caramelized on all sides.
Once they’re tender and golden, pull ‘em out and sprinkle the rest of that lemon flaked salt on top right before serving. It’s the little finish that makes ’em pop.
Notes
Serve warm and enjoy the delightful blend of flavors.
