Ingredients

• 1 pound carrots, peeled and cut into 3-inch pieces
• 1 sweet onion, roughly chopped
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.25 cup honey
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• lemons, zested
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.13 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons chopped fennel greens

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) for roasting.
2. In a bowl, combine the carrots, onion, and olive oil. Toss well to coat, then spread evenly on a baking sheet.
3. Roast in the preheated oven for approximately 30 minutes, or until the carrots are tender. Transfer the roasted vegetables to a serving bowl.
