Expert Tips and Tricks
When purchasing your carrots try to get ones that are similar in width and length. This will help ensure they are all cooked similarly. If some carrots are thicker than others, they will need to be cooked longer
Halfway through the baking time you will need to flip your carrots over. During this time grab a spoon and scoop up any flavor that is on the pan and pour it on the carrots. This will ensure the carrots get as much brown sugar honey tasty-ness that they can!
