SIMPLY DELICIOUS HONEY SPICED CARROTS
Edited after RSC reviews to make this less sweet. Carrots are a tasty yet budget conscious vegetable. However, cardamom can be an expensive spice so I buy it in bulk at my Health Food Store. That way I can buy just what I need at a fraction of the price charged in the grocery store! Kids generally like baby carrots so why not cook them up as a tasty side dish and get them eating a vegetable with their meal! Remember, DO NOT give honey to children under one year of age! I like to saute the carrots as that brings out the sweetness of the carrots but steam them if you prefer. Hope you enjoy this creation!

Steps:
- Turn your oven on to 425 degrees.
- Melt the butter in a large ovenproof skillet (see notes) over medium-high heat. Add the honey, salt, pepper, and cayenne and bring to a boil for 2 minutes. Add the carrots and toss to coat in the sauce.
- Place the carrots in the oven and cook for 20 minutes. If you'd like some dark spots on your carrots, broil for the last 2-3 minutes. Be careful as they burn quickly.
- Remove the pan from the oven and continue to cook the carrots for 2 minutes over medium-high heat on your stovetop to caramelize the honey. Once the sauce just barely starts to darken, remove the pan from the heat.
- Sprinkle with some minced chives and serve.

Tips:
- For optimal flavor, select fresh, young carrots with vibrant color and no signs of wilting or blemishes.
- Use a vegetable peeler to remove the skin of the carrots. This will help the honey-spiced glaze adhere better and result in a more flavorful dish.
- If you prefer a sweeter glaze, add an extra tablespoon or two of honey. Conversely, if you prefer a spicier glaze, increase the amount of ground cumin or cayenne pepper.
- Roast the carrots in a single layer on a baking sheet to ensure even cooking and caramelization.
- Keep an eye on the carrots during roasting to prevent burning. The cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of your carrot slices.
- For a more elegant presentation, arrange the roasted carrots on a serving platter and garnish with fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley.
