Honey Roasted Carrots

 Ingredients

• 2 lbs. carrots peeled and cut into 2-inch chunks
• 2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
• 3 Tablespoons butter
• 3 Tablespoons honey
• 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. 

In a large bowl, stir together the carrots and olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place them on a large baking sheet covered with parchment paper. Roast for 20 minutes or until fork tender.
