HASSELBACK HONEY-ROASTED CARROTS
Ingredients:
1 pound fresh carrots, peeled and tops trimmed
1/4 cup natural honey
1-2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon thyme
Fresh Chives for garnish
Pomegranate arils for garnish
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 400°. Beginning at one end of the carrot, slice in vertical strips, being careful to stop before slicing through the bottom. Repeat with remaining carrots. Transfer carrots to a shallow dish. Combine natural honey, olive oil, seasoned salt, black pepper, ground ginger, paprika, ground cumin, and thyme. Stir well. Brush glaze onto the carrots, turning to coat. Place carrots on a nonstick baking pan in a single layer without touching. Bake 40-45 minutes. Garnish with fresh chives and pomegranate arils.

It looks like the trick to this is to use very large carrots to Hasselbeck them; otherwise, you’ll have a heck of a time trying not to cut them all the way through. They look great.

It’s definitely easier using larger carrots than the small variety. 🥕🥕🥕

Lol Oh yes, Gail! I had just read about nutritional physiology at Sally. I now wonder whether the input into the human body sometimes produces such funny results. 😉 Have a nice week! Michael

A lovely take on the simple honey glazed carrots which I do often and I like your spicing but hasselbacking (is that a real word?) is just so time-consuming. I think I am just too lazy in the kitchen.

You don’t need to slice them. Just omit that part of the recipe and you’re good to go. 😍🌿
