Honey Lemon Roasted Carrots

Carrots are one of those veggies that I think are often underrated. Most people eat them raw, which of course, is totally delicious, but they are also so yummy when cooked and roasted! They are filling and a good substitute for potatoes or other more carb-heavy dishes.

My favorite kinds of side dishes are always the ones that involve very few steps and ingredients. These Honey Lemon Roasted Carrots most definitely fit the bill! I love the balance of the sweet honey with fresh and tangy lemon juice on these tender roasted baby carrots. They are light and flavorful and would pair well with grilled meats, fish, or even with burgers!
