Drescription

These honey lemon roasted carrots combine the sweetness of honey, the brightness of lemon, and the aromatic flavor of mint; an ideal addition to any spring gathering or festive Easter or Passover table.

Ingredients

  • 1 (1 pound) bunch thin carrots, no larger than 1-inch diameter
  • 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons chopped pistachios
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh mint

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Trim tops off carrots, leaving 1 inch of stem for visual appeal. Scrub carrots under running water; dry thoroughly. Place carrots on the prepared baking sheet and drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Toss to coat evenly.
  3. Roast in the preheated oven until carrots are slightly undercooked, 20 to 25 minutes.
  4. Whisk together remaining 1 teaspoon olive oil, honey, lemon juice, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Brush mixture onto carrots and continue to roast or until carrots are tender, 10 to 15 minutes more. Turn carrots every 5 minutes so they roast evenly.
  5. Place on a serving platter and top with pistachios and mint before serving.
