01 -

The natural sweetness of carrots gets amplified into something that tastes like candy but happens to be a vegetable
Fifteen minutes of active work transforms ordinary carrots into the dish everyone reaches for first

02 -

Crowding the pan is the fastest way to ruin this recipe so use two pans if needed
The honey can burn quickly so keep an eye on them during the last 5 minutes of roasting

03 -

Let the carrots sit for 5 minutes after roasting so the glaze thickens and clings to every piece
Room temperature honey mixes more easily with olive oil than cold honey from the pantry
