Notes

Cool the carrots to room temperature before storing in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 8–10 minutes or warm in a microwave for 1–2 minutes. Try using maple syrup instead of honey for a different flavor profile. Add red pepper flakes for heat or balsamic vinegar for tang.
