Description
Hot sauce and honey transform carrots into a sweet and spicy side dish that's full of flavor! Warning: these carrots do have a bit of a kick! To make them less spicy but still get that hot honey flavor, reduce the hot sauce by 1-2 tablespoons and increase the honey by 1 tablespoon.

Scale
- 1 pound carrots, peeled and sliced into 3/4" coins
- 2 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1/4 cup cayenne hot sauce (such as Frank's Red Hot or Lola's)
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Toss carrots with 1 tablespoon olive oil and spread out in an even layer on the baking sheet. Roast for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine the hot sauce, honey, remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until reduced by about half. Remove from heat.
- Remove carrots from oven and pour hot honey sauce overtop. Toss to coat. Return to the oven for 10 more minutes, or until the carrots are tender and most of the glaze has evaporated or turned sticky. Once done, give the carrots a good stir and serve immediately!
