2 pounds carrots
2 tablespoons hot honey*
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon salt

In a small microwave safe bowl, melt butter. Whisk in hot honey, salt and pepper. Toss the carrots with the honey butter mixture on a sheet pan.

Notes

*If you don't have hot honey, add 1 cup honey to a small saucepan along with 2 Tablespoons chili flakes. Heat and simmer for 2 minutes, being sure NOT to allow the honey to boil.

Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar. Allow to rest for 10 minutes, or until the honey has reached your desired level of heat. Strain the chili flakes from the honey and store in a sealed jar. If you want your honey extra spicy, feel free to leave the chilis in the honey.
