Honey Maple Glazed Carrots

   Baked tarragon chicken last night.  Pretty basic.  But I needed a side dish.  I rifled through the fridge and thought I'd roast some carrots.  Before I popped them into the oven I thought, "How boring".  I looked in the cupboard and wondered what honey and maple syrup mixed together would taste like as a glaze.  Turns out its great!

Honey Maple Glazed Carrots

6 Carrots peeled and diced
1/4 cup honey
2 tbls maple syrup
2 tbls butter
1/2 lemon
Olive oil, salt and ground pepper

   Peel and dice the carrots.  Dice them at a slant.  (Its just prettier.)  Place them in a baking dish that is drizzled with olive oil.  Scatter bits of the butter over the top.    Mix the honey and maple syrup in a bowl and pour over the carrots.  Toss the carrots to coat thoroughly.  Bake at 350 for 20 to 25 minutes.  5 minutes before  they're done squeeze the juice of 1/2 lemon over the carrots and return them to the oven to finish cooking.  Cook for 5 more minutes.  Salt and pepper to taste.

Another happy accident!
