Ingredients

    1 lb slender, fresh carrots (ideally heirlooms)
    1 tsp olive oil
    1/4 cup dark honey
    1/4 cup vegetable broth
    1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (for company / special occasions, use Meyer lemons)
    1 tsp lemon zest
    3 cloves garlic, cracked but left whole
    1 tsp paprika
    1 tsp onion powder
    2 tsp dried basil
    1/2 tsp fennel seed
    pinch sea salt

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400F.
Halve the carrots lengthwise, and if they're very long cut in half across. Place in the bottom of a casserole dish.
In a bowl whisk together the remaining ingredients.
Pour over the carrots and stir to evenly coat.
Cover and roast for 15 minutes.
Stir, then uncover and roast a further 15 minutes.
