This lemony side dish gives carrots a little more sweetness with honey and a little zing from cayenne.

3 pounds carrots (15 to 20 medium), cut into pieces 2 inches long and 1/2 inch thick
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Coarse salt
2 tablespoons honey
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest, and 3 tablespoons juice (from about 1 lemon)

Directions

Step 1

Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together honey, zest, and lemon juice; season with salt. If making ahead of time, cover and refrigerate carrots and dressing separately, up to 1 day. Otherwise, drizzle dressing over cooked carrots (still on baking sheet); toss to coat. Transfer to a serving dish; serve warm or at room temperature.

I liked these but my husband found the cayenne a bit unexpected (not in a good way). I halved the recipe and the carrots were done in less than 30 minutes.

Carrots done this way are great even without the lemon sauce. I found the carrots only needed about 20 minutes of cooking time. I added the honey/lemon sauce once they were cooked and served immediately.
