Honey Mustard Roasted Carrots

I think carrots might be my favorite vegetable. And it's funny because I really only like them when they are tender!! Raw carrot - no thanks. Soft, juicy, tender carrot? YES PLEASEEEE. 

These honey mustard roasted carrots are the perfect side dish!! Perfect for holidays because they look fancy and pretty but they're actually SO easy to make. I love how they are sweet and salty at the same time, and super super soft from the marinade. 

WHAT YOU NEED:

• ​24 peeled carrots
• homemade honey mustard 
• parmesan cheese
• black pepper

for the homemade honey mustard

• 1/4 cup dijon mustard (I love Maille's Original Dijon)
• 1/2 cup mayo
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper

WHAT TO DO:

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
   
2. ​Wash the carrots and dry with a clean towel.
3. Mix the honey mustard sauce in a bowl and pour over the carrots. Save any excess to use as a drizzle and dipping sauce!
4. Cook the carrots on a baking sheet in the oven for 30-40 minutes. Every oven is different, some ovens will need more or less time to ensure the carrots are tender. Test with a fork, they should be decently firm but also should be soft enough to pierce with a fork.
5. Plate the carrots, drizzle with any leftover sauce and top off with freshly grated parmesan cheese and fresh cracked black pepper.
