Other than salad, mashed potatoes, or sweet potatoes I never know what in the heck to do for Thanksgiving side dishes. Those three all have great recipes and variations out there, but don’t you ever want something else for a veggie? My mom used to make creamed carrots for Sunday dinners and while I’m totally wondering why I haven’t posted that recipe yet I do have one for honey roasted carrots today.
The biggest reasons I love this recipe is, A. it’s crazy easy, and B. you can actually prep everything including partially roasting the carrots in the morning and then finish them off before everyone arrives. Just make sure you don’t overcook them because no one wants bitter carrots.
We actually eat these all year round as they are Cade’s favorite recipe for carrots. In fact, this post is all him, he had the idea and did the photos. Did you know he does a lot of our recipes? Kind of awesome right?
