Honey Glazed Roasted Carrots
Everybody knows that the side dishes are the stars of Thanksgiving! I would venture to say that these honey glazed roasted carrots topped with queso fresco might even impress your guests more then your sweet potato casserole. These caramelized carrots made easily in the oven with a glorious honey glaze and a perfect blend of spices are going to be a show stopper for your Thanksgiving dinner. Perfect for adults, children, and picky eaters at your Thanksgiving table. I topped this recipe with mild sweet and slightly salty queso fresco as a perfect compliment to these honey glazed roasted carrots. However, you could even top them with goat cheese for the more sophisticated palettes.
