01 -

The natural sweetness of carrots gets amplified by honey without any fancy techniques
They actually make people excited about eating their vegetables

02 -

Crowding the pan leads to steaming instead of roasting, so use two sheets if needed
The honey burns quickly, so keep an eye on them during those last few minutes

03 -

Cut the carrots into uniform pieces so they all finish roasting at the same time
Let them sit for a couple of minutes before serving to let those caramelized edges set slightly
