Serves: 4 as a side

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Cook Time: 1 hour

INGREDIENTS

• 6 large carrots, peeled
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 teaspoons Egmont Honey
• ½ teaspoon chilli flakes
• Mint leaves to serve
• Coriander leaves to serve

METHOD

1. Pre-heat the oven to 180°
2. Cut the ends off the carrots then cut them into two widthways.
3. Using a very sharp knife cut through the carrots at small intervals, making sure you don’t go too deep (about halfway through is good).
4. Arrange the carrots in an oven-proof dish. Mix together the oil, garlic, honey and chilli flakes.
5. Season well with sea salt then spread this mixture over the carrots.
6. Put into the oven and cook for 1 hour or until the carrots are cooked through.
7. To test, slide a sharp knife into the middle of a carrot. If they start to brown too much as they cook cover the dish with tinfoil.
8. Remove from the oven and arrange on a platter or serving dish. Scatter with the mint and coriander leaves and serve immediately.
