Honey Roasted Carrots
We know how busy the holiday season can be, and we want to do all we can to help you and inspire you to cook with Mexican flavours at home. A must-have in your pantry in the run up to New Year has to be Gran Luchito Chipotle Paste! Its versatility and unique combination of Mexican dried chillies and spices make it the flavour bomb you need to season your food during the festive period.
We love this Honey Roasted Carrots recipe as it’s so simple to prepare, but gives your roast vegetables a special oomph. The sweetness of the roasted carrots goes beautifully with the smoky and deep chipotle taste that the Chipotle Paste gives. They are also the easiest to prepare! Simply peel the carrots and rub with Chipotle Paste, olive oil and a few sprigs of rosemary, salt and black pepper. Roast them in the oven without the need to parboil first, and just let them get deliciously roasted and tender in the oven.
We like to add the honey at the end while the roast carrots are still warm and just come out of the oven. A quick squeeze of lemon juice on top, along with some flaky salt, and they’re ready to be served and enjoyed alongside other holiday treats or simply with your usual Sunday roast.
We hope you give these honey roasted carrots a try and that you love them as much as we do!

Ingredients
Carrots:
- 1 kg / 2.2lb small carrots or chantenay carrots, washed and peeled (if your carrots are large, cut them into smaller pieces)
- 2 teaspoons Gran Luchito Chipotle Paste
- 2 rosemary sprigs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper
To Serve:
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1/2 lemon
- 1 teaspoon flaky salt
How to make it
- Preheat the oven to 200˚C/390˚F. Place the carrots into a bowl, add the Chipotle Paste, rosemary leaves, and olive oil. Rub with your hands until they are all coated in the mixture, then season with salt and pepper.
- Prepare a tray with parchment paper at the bottom. Place the carrots on the tray and place them in the oven for 30 minutes (approx) until the carrots turn tender and are nicely roasted on the outside.
- Remove the tray from the oven and place the carrots in a nice serving dish. Finish the carrots by drizzling the honey on top while they are still warm. You can also add a squeeze of lemon and flaky salt on top. Serve your roasted carrots recipe warm and enjoy!

Serve them alongside side dishes such as Mexican Roast Potatoes, Mexican Cauliflower Cheese, and Mexican Green Beans. It's not entirely necessary, but we like to peel ours, yes. Peeling the carrots gives them a cleaner appearance. If you choose not to peel, scrub them with a veggie brush to make sure you get rid of any dirt or debris before cooking. Yes! You can make these honey glazed carrots in advance. If you do, we recommend boiling them for a minute or two less just so that they don't become mushy when you reheat them.
