How to make Bacon Wrapped Hot Honey Glazed Carrots
Preheat the oven or grill to 400° F. Cooking them in the oven is more convenient, but if you can throw them on the grill or pellet smoker that will add a lot more flavor.
Wash and then peel the whole carrots then tightly wrap each carrot with a thin slice of bacon.
Season the outside of the bacon with salt, pepper and smoked paprika. You can also season them with a BBQ rub instead for added smoky flavor.
Place the bacon wrapped carrots on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or on a wire rack then place them in the oven or grill for 25-30 minutes.
Once the carrots begin to soften and the bacon starts to turn crispy, remove them from the oven or grill. You can test the softness of the carrot with a toothpick or fork. If it goes in like butter, the carrots are almost done.
Brush some warmed hot honey on each carrot then place them back in the oven for an additional 5 minutes. This will allow the honey to become sticky and form a glaze over the bacon wrapped carrots.
Remove the carrots once the honey tacks up and becomes sticky on the bacon.
Garnish them with finely chopped parsley. You can also top them with candied pecans for added flavor!
Serve hot and enjoy!
