Roasted Carrots with Honey & Lemon

Beautifully Roasted Carrots, tossed in butter, honey, and lemon are easy to make and totally irresistible. Perfect for any holiday table yet simple enough for a weeknight meal!

13 Family Favorite Thanksgiving Side Dishes that will have everyone running to the table!

 

One of the side dishes that will be on my Easter table this year is roasted carrots.  To be honest, this is a dish I make about every other week and is a “standing request.”  I do mix it up a bit by adding different herbs, garlic, and other veggies but the gold standard is roasted with honey, lemon, butter, salt, and pepper.  It may seem a little boring to some, which makes me holler …”hold up there, sassy pants!” because as soon as those long, golden carrot sticks start to turn a little brown and that yummy roasted flavor comes out, they are just simply, wonderfully good.  That’s why it’s always so hard to resist just picking up one, OK, maybe two for a taste test before serving.
