Bacon Wrapped Honey Glazed Carrots

Ingredients

• 2 pounds whole carrots, peeled ((1/2 inch thick, not all of them will be used))
• 1 pound bacon, thin-sliced
• 1/4 cup honey
• salt & pepper to taste
• fresh parsley (optional for garnish)

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.

2. 2

   Select 12 carrots of similar size and thickness from the package. Wash and peel carrots. Leave the carrots whole, do not cut the ends off.

3. 3

   Wrap a piece of bacon tightly around each carrot. Overlap the ends so the bacon is secured. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

4. 4

   Place on the prepared baking sheet and roast for 30 minutes or until carrots are soft and bacon is starting to crisp.

5. 5

   In a microwaveable bowl, warm the honey for 20 seconds to help make the honey easier to glaze. Brush the carrots with warm honey.

6. 6

   Return the carrots back to the oven for the last 5 minutes. Remove when the honey starts to bubble and the bacon is golden and crisp. If you want the bacon crispier, you can turn the oven to broil for about 1 minute, but watch it very closely or it will burn.

7. 7

   Remove carrots from the oven and serve! If desired, garnish carrots with fresh chopped parsley.
