❌ Common Mistakes to Avoid
❌ Adding honey too early
It burns quickly. Add halfway through roasting.
❌ Overcrowding the tray
This causes steaming, not caramelising.
❌ Using too much honey
A little goes a long way — too much = sticky mess.
🌟 FAQs
Can I use maple syrup instead of honey?
Yes — maple syrup gives an amazing flavour and caramelises well.
Should I peel the carrots?
Peeling is optional. Unpeeled carrots roast beautifully; just wash well.
Can I use baby carrots?
Yes — they roast quickly and look great on Christmas plates.
Can I make honey carrots vegan?
Swap butter for olive oil or vegan butter, and replace honey with maple syrup.
How do I reheat leftovers?
Roast at 180°C for 10 minutes or microwave for 1–2 minutes.
