Ingredients

  • 600 grams carrots
  • 60 grams melted butter
  • 2 Tbsp raw honey
  • 2 Tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2-3 Tbsp spring onions (chopped finely)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 200℃. Mix melted butter, honey, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and black pepper in a bowl.
  • Peel and chop the carrots into thick matchsticks, measuring about 1cm squared. Place carrots in a large bowl and pour all but 2 tablespoons of the butter mixture over the carrots and mix. The butter will solidify to some degree. This is just fine.
  • Spread the carrots out in a single layer on a baking sheet. Place in preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, flip the carrots half way through the cooking time so that they can caramelize on all sides.
  • Remove from the oven and place on a serving platter. Drizzle the remaining butter mixture over the carrots. (If it solidified while the carrots were roasting, just pop it into the microwave for a few seconds.)
  • Sprinkle the carrots with the finely chopped green onions. This is essential! The combination of the caramelized carrots and the green onions adds a complexity that makes this dish a true winner.
  • Enjoy!
