Adds Heritage Carrots, Raw Wildflower Honey, Mixed Herb Bundle

Method

  1. Heat the oven to 200°C (fan 180°C).

  2. Toss the carrots in olive oil, season with salt and pepper and lay in a single layer on a roasting tray.

  3. Roast for 15 minutes until starting to colour.

  4. Add the butter, honey and thyme to the tray, toss gently to coat the carrots and return to the oven.

  5. Roast for a further 8–10 minutes, turning once, until deeply caramelised and sticky.

  6. If using, add a splash of cider vinegar to the pan and toss. This cuts the sweetness beautifully.

  7. Serve immediately, scraping all the sticky pan juices over the top.

Cook's notes

Our raw wildflower honey has a complexity that supermarket honey lacks — use it generously here. The different carrot varieties all caramelise at slightly different rates, so you get a range of textures in the finished dish. Any surplus honey is also spectacular drizzled over our sourdough with butter.
