What ingredients do I need for 5 ingredient roasted carrots?

1. Carrots
2. Hot honey (you can make your own homemade hot honey if you don’t have any – keep reading to learn how or simply buy hot honey – like this)
3. Feta cheese
4. Thyme (dried or fresh)
5. Extra virgin olive oil

Before doing any cooking, I like to line my sheet pan with aluminum foil – it makes cleanup much easier!  And I am all about easy!

Do you roast carrots with the skin on?

• You can!  Or you can choose to peel them.  For this recipe, I washed them and cleaned them up a tad, but roasted them with skin on.

For the hot honey, for convenience you can definitely buy some to have on hand – I like to use this brand.  But you can certainly make your own hot honey by combining two simple ingredients:

• Honey
• Red pepper flakes

Combine and enjoy on top of roasted carrots (and in any number of other ways).  Yup, it’s that simple!  I wrote a post about making hot honey here.
