Ingredients
500g Carrots
2 Tbsp Olive Oil
2 Tbsp of Honey
4 Garlic Cloves Crushed
Salt & Pepper to Taste
1-2 Tbsp of Flaked Almonds
4 Sprigs Parsley (Optional)
Directions
Pre-Heat oven to 180°C and prep your oven tray with baking paper
Chop your carrots into rounds about 1 cm thickness you don’t need to peel them
Mince your garlic and add with your olive oil and honey in a bowl and give it a good mix around until it is all combined
Add the honey dressing over the carrots and give it a good mix around until they are all covered
Place them onto your baking tray in one flat layer and bake away in the oven for about 45 minutes until they start to crisp up. If you find they are not crispy at the 45 minute mark simply crank the oven up to 200°C for about 10 minutes to add a bit more colour
Add to your plate and cover with the almonds and parsley and enjoy. I like to eat these hot but you can eat them once cooled as well
