Notes
- Uniform Cuts: Slicing carrots evenly ensures they roast at the same rate and come out perfectly tender.
- Garlic Watch: Don’t let garlic burn—it should be golden and fragrant before adding honey.
- Add Spice: For a touch of heat, sprinkle in a pinch of red pepper flakes with the garlic.
- Make Ahead: Glaze can be made a day in advance and reheated before tossing with carrots.
