These glazed carrots are special. A little sweet, a little spice, and some time in a very hot oven turns the humble carrot into a must-make dish.

2tbspbutter
2 tbsphoney
1tspSriracha
saltto taste
6large carrots
1tbspsesame seeds
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
In a small saucepan melt the butter with the honey over medium-low heat. Once the butter is melted, stir in the Sriracha and a pinch of salt.
To prep the carrots, trim and peel them. Cut them into 2-3 inch sticks. Make the pieces all of the same size by halving or quartering where the carrots get thicker.
Put the carrots into an 8×8 baking dish. Pour the honey Sriracha butter over the carrots. Add the sesame seeds. Toss to coat with a wooden spoon. Put into the oven.
Cook for about 45 minutes, stirring to coat the carrots in the glaze every 15 minutes. The carrots will be done when they are soft and slightly caramelized. The pan will be a soaker, but it’s worth it!
