Ingredients

1 pound large carrots, peeled about 8 carrots
5 tbsp butter divided
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tbsp honey
juice of 1 lime
zest of 1 lime
2 cloves fresh minced garlic
green onions for topping
chopped cilantro for topping

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.
Place carrots in single layer on baking sheet. Melt 3 tbsp of butter and brush over tops of carrots. Sprinkle salt evenly over carrots. Bake for 20 minutes.
While carrots are roasting, melt remaining 2 tbsp of butter and the honey in a small sauce pan over medium mead. Once melted, stir in juice of lime, zest of lime, and garlic. Bring to a gentle simmer and allow to simmer for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
When carrots are done with initial 20 minutes of baking, remove from oven. Toss carrots with a spatula. Pour honey mixture evenly over carrots.
Return carrots to oven and cook for an additional 20-30 minutes, or until carrots are tender even at their thickest part. Note: time will vary depending on the thickness of your carrots.
Serve warm. Top with green onions, cilantro, and feta cheese as desired.
