Notes

You can use baby carrots instead of sliced carrots.
You can use brown sugar instead of honey.
If you use normal table or sea salt use half the amount.
You can use fresh orange juice or store bought.
If you want a bit of char on them, you can turn the broiler on for 2-3 minutes at the very end.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
