Notes
[‘Use fresh carrots for the best flavor.’, ‘Cut carrots into similar sizes for even cooking.’, ‘Line the baking sheet with parchment paper or foil to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.’, ‘Monitor the carrots closely during the last few minutes to avoid burning the honey glaze.’, ‘Broil the carrots for 2-3 minutes at the end for deeper caramelization.’]
