Honey roasted carrots are SO GOOD and with a la’al bit o’ witchin’ they can be beneficial too. I originally tried my hand at these for Yule 2018 but I wasn’t using my intuition then and instead found a terrible Pinterest recipe that failed on Every. Single. Level. Needless to say they didn’t make it into the Yule feast and went in the bin! What a waste 😦
Anyway, here’s my intuitive kitchen craft recipe for these carrots (I’m going to eventually try experimenting with other root vegetables but the flavours of this go so well I don’t want to risk it!)
You will need:
- Carrots, peeled and cut lengthways
- Olive oil (or vegetable oil)
- A few sprigs of rosemary
- Sea salt
- Runny honey
- Roasting pan
- Tin foil
Method:
- Preheat your oven to 180 degrees C (i used a fan oven so i’m not sure what this would be for non-fan!)
- Line your roasting tray with foil, and drizzle some oil over it, then put it in the oven while it preheats – this makes your carrots extra crispy bc hot oil, man
- Boil your carrots in a saucepan for 15/20 minutes, until they’re quite soft
- By the time they’ve finished your oven should have preheated and the oil will be hot
- Drain the carrots and put them back into the pan, then drizzle over oil, a few shakes of salt, and a squeeze or teaspoon of runny honey
- Mix that all together
- Take your roasting pan out of the oven, and lay the carrots on the foil – most of the time they’ll sizzle a bit, this is a good sign!
- Add your sprigs of rosemary onto the top of them, and drizzle over the remaining mixture from the pan
- Bake in your oven for 40 minutes
- Take out and lay on some kitchen towel to absorb the excess oil
- Serve!
