- 8 ounces baby carrots
- 1 ½ tablespoons duck fat, melted
- ¼ teaspoon sweet paprika
- ¾ teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon honey, briefly warmed in microwave so it is runny
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Mix duck fat with thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper in a bowl large enough to hold the carrots.
I like the Earth Exotics baby carrots, which come pre-peeled, are just the right length, and actually look like carrots.
Add the carrots to the bowl with the duck fat mixture and toss until well coated. Put carrots on a baking sheet covered with a Silpat silicon baking mat (makes serving and cleanup much easier).
Bake carrots for 25 minutes or until they pierce easily with a parking knife. Using a small pastry brush, brush carrots with honey. Serve.
