Instructions
Creating Honey Bacon Wrapped Carrots is a simple process that results in a delicious dish. Just follow these easy steps to achieve flavorful perfection:
1. Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare Carrots: Wash and peel the baby carrots. If using larger carrots, cut them into equal-sized pieces for even cooking.
3. Wrap in Bacon: Take each carrot and wrap a slice of bacon around it, securing the end with toothpicks to hold it in place if necessary.
4. Prepare the Honey Glaze: In a small bowl, mix together honey, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
5. Coat the Carrots: Place the wrapped carrots on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle the honey glaze over the carrots, ensuring they are well-coated.
6. Bake the Carrots: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the carrots are tender.
7. Garnish: If desired, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the cooked carrots for color and a burst of freshness.
8. Serve: Remove the toothpicks if used, and arrange the carrots on a serving platter. Drizzle any remaining glaze from the baking sheet on top for extra flavor.
