Honey Lemon Roasted Carrots

Ingredients

• 1 bunch carrots , 1 pound
• 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 0.25 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons chopped pistachios
• 1 tablespoon fresh mint

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. 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. 3

   Roast in the preheated oven until carrots are slightly undercooked, 20 to 25 minutes.

4. 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. 5

   Place on a serving platter and top with pistachios and mint before serving.
