4-Arrange them in a single layer in a baking dish to promote even cooking and prevent steaming.
5-Roast the carrots for 20 to 30 minutes, remembering to toss them halfway through to get that perfect golden finish.
6-After they’re tender, squeeze fresh lemon juice over them and toss to coat for a bright, zesty touch.
7-Finally, garnish with extra hot honey drizzles, red pepper flakes, flaky sea salt, and fresh chopped parsley before serving to elevate the dish.
8-First, preheat the oven and prepare the carrots as mentioned.
9-Next, mix the oil, honey, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
10-Then, coat the carrots thoroughly and arrange them in the baking dish.
