Baked Honey-Glazed Carrots

Baked Honey-glazed Baby Carrots

Honey carrots has long been a favourite side dish of mine, especially when the carrots are roasted so that they caramelise a little, adding a touch of bitterness to balance the sweetness. I love the look of whole baby carrots (also called Dutch carrots), but you could use sliced large carrots if that’s what you have on hand. Honeyed carrots are a great accompaniment to any roast meat or steak, but I’m also happy sitting down to a plate of these with just some fresh goat cheese and a glass of Vinteloper rosé. For another interesting veggie side that can become a main, see the Roast Pumpkin with Salsa Verde & Pepitas video below inspired by a dish at Matt Moran’s pub, The Rockley.

Serves 4 as a side dish

Ingredients
  • 20 baby carrots
  • 25g butter
  • 1½ tablespoons honey
Method
  1. Preheat oven to 220°C.
  2. Meanwhile, trim carrots, reserving the green tops, and gently scrub them (I use a new nylon scourer for this).
  3. Heat butter and honey in a small saucepan.
  4. Place carrots in a baking dish large enough to hold them in a single layer.
  5. Pour butter mixture over them and toss to combine.
  6. Place in oven for 25 minutes or so, until well coloured and tender.
  7. Transfer to a serving dish, garnish with a little of the carrot tops (saving the rest for salad or another dish).

We made the pot-sticker dumplings and bang bang chicken – once again both exceeded our expectations. My husband keeps saying it’s better ordering this than going out to restaurants as the recipes and food quality are amazing.

The whole Be Inspired experience has helped me love cooking again. I was sick of cooking the same old things - meal time is a lot brighter thanks to you Roberta.

I loved the Fresh & Easy Chicken – simple instructions, only a few ingredients and the time factor absolutely spot on. Then came the highlight, the taste, no compromise on the enjoyment of that meal! For the time poor Fresh & Easy hits the mark indeed.

Thank you for stocking our pantry with such authentic Ingredients and quality produce ... I’ve so enjoyed picking fresh leaves from the herb pots and loved listening to the chef's playlist while cooking. We really like the flexibility of cooking over a couple of days and changing the order we cook the dishes in when we want to.

I am absolutely loving these boxes! There are Ingredients I have never worked with before so having the confidence to try something new is so much fun! The recipes are just amazing and the notes on what can be prep’d beforehand are a great help too. Thank you so much.

Thanks so much for the Fresh & Easy Meal, it was excellent. We regularly get another meal kit delivery – your offering is vastly superior and a similar price, so big ticks.

I'm a competent cook whose learned so much from the Recipes+Videos Packs. The recipes are yummy and Roberta’s video guidance offers so many little tips to improve flavour and organise the flow of preparation. I enjoy her warmth, sense of humour, and ability to giggle at herself when she occasionally messes up.
