One of the things I love most about this time of year is the fall harvest. I’m talking greens, root vegetables, even gourds and squashes. All the new produce varieties let me add the flavors of the season to my menu of recipes and really switch things up in the kitchen, especially when dinnertime rolls around.
And while it’s true some fall veggies can be somewhat bland to taste when cooked and eaten on their own, it’s not hard at all to add flavor during the prep process or even after cooking.
Some of the go-to methods include olive oils infused with garlic and herbs, dry seasoning blends, or even spicy sauces and dressings. But, I’ve got a new contender for you to try—Mike’s Hot Honey!
Made from 100% pure honey and real chili peppers, Mike’s Hot Honey is the quick and easy way to add amazing flavor to so many meals and recipes, like those Hot Honey Roasted Carrots you see above.
Shake up dinner time and skip the boring steamed carrots. My Hot Honey Roasted Carrots are the perfect addition to any meal. The sweet heat combination pairs beautifully with roasted chicken, beef or pork. Plus, they are easy enough to toss together as a side during the work week, and you know how much I appreciate that.
You don’t need a ton of ingredients to add big flavor to your meal. Some carrots, a few pantry staples and a bottle of Mike’s Hot Honey combine for a side dish that is anything but ordinary. Plus, you can choose the level of heat that suits you. We like things hot here at my house, so I prefer to use Mike’s Hot Honey – Extra Hot in this recipe. Of course, feel free to experiment and use the variety that best suits your needs.
- 2 lbs carrots, washed and peeled (cut if needed to similar sizes)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup Mike’s Hot Honey
- Preheat oven to 375 ̊F.
- Lay carrots out in a single layer on a roasting pan.
- Drizzle the oil over the carrots, add salt, and pepper.
- Roast for 25–30 minutes in oven or until tender.
- Take the carrots out of the oven and transfer them to a serving platter, toss with Mike’s Hot Honey (or Mike’s Hot Honey – Extra Hot) and serve.
Remember, while it’s delicious with this dinner side, Mike’s Hot Honey also works with just about every meal of the day, even breakfast and dessert.
Start your day off with a kick by using it on eggs, waffles, pancakes, or french toast. For lunch and dinner, it pairs perfectly with pizza, fried chicken, chicken wings, ribs, and much more. Or try it over ice cream for a deliciously different treat. You can even use it to punch up your favorite evening cocktail.
Founded in 2010 by Mike Kurtz, the brand was born from a desire to create and share the highest quality honey infused with chili peppers. Mike began drizzling his signature hot honey on pizzas at the Brooklyn pizzeria where he worked, and customers started to ask if they could buy bottles to take home. Now you can find the bottles on store shelves nationwide, including your local Publix!
