Honey and Orange Carrots

Honey and Orange Carrots are a favourite with my children. They are soft and slightly sweet and have an amazing aroma. I cook these in the slow cooker as I’m lazy. However, you can adapt the recipe and cook in a pan by cooking the carrots part way in water before draining and adding the remaining ingredients to finish the side dish off. This is a lovely vegetarian dish that everybody enjoys.

Honey and Orange Carrots

I often add a little sprinkle of fresh rosemary when baking these carrots with a lamb dish.
