Honey-Glazed Roasted Carrots


I am always looking for healthy side dishes that help change up the ordinary steamed and plain veggies. My daughters weren't too sure about this at first (Peppers, ginger, AND honey, mom???), but after they tried it they declared it a winner...and I do too!

*It makes quite a bit so you may want to cut down the recipe.

3 lb medium carrots, peeled and cut into 3 inch pieces
1 red chili pepper (such as fresno or serrano), halved, seeded, and thinly sliced  
1 2-inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled and coarsely grated
4 TBS olive oil
Kosher salt and pepper
3 TBS honey

Heat oven to 400 degrees. In a bowl, toss the carrots, chili and ginger with the oil, 3/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper. Put on baking sheet (I used two in order to spread them out) and roast until golden brown and tender, 35 to 40 minutes. Remove from oven, drizzle the honey over the carrots, and toss to coat. YUM!
