Carrots will be sticky and delicious if coated in 1 ingredient

A recipe promises to deliver the “best carrots ever” and it all comes down to an essential ingredient. Carrots are a healthy side dish that can be added to a range of meals from roast dinners, to on the side of a steak or burgers instead of chips.

The trusty root vegetable also comes with a host of health benefits, enhancing its popularity. According to Healthline: “Carrots are a particularly good source of beta-carotene, fibre, vitamin K1, potassium, and antioxidants. Plus, they’re low in calories.

“They also have several health benefits. They have been linked to lower cholesterol levels and improved eye health.

“What’s more, their carotene antioxidants have been linked to a reduced risk of cancer.”

Food content creator Qia Cooks took to TikTok to share a recipe for honey roasted carrots. Over the top of the footage, she added text which reads: “The thing is I KNOW these are the best carrots ever.”

In the video, the finished result is shown first – the carrots look soft, sticky and delicious. Qia then drizzles over an extra layer of honey.

The clip then cuts to the start of the process, in which Qia peeled the carrots, chopped the ends off and then sliced them in half.

She added them to a bowl, sprinkled with salt, then poured cold water over the top and brought the veggies to the boil.

The key to the sticky, delicious taste was the marinade Qia whipped up, with a base centred on one essential ingredient – melted butter.

Herbs and seasoning was added to the butter and mixed well to create a rich, flavourful dressing. Qia placed the boiled carrots into a roasting dish, then drizzled the marinade over the top before putting them in an air-fryer.

In the caption, she listed all the ingredients and a step by step process to help people craft the same result at home.

Qia explained: “Recipe for honey roasted carrots. Method for honey roasted carrots:

In the comments section, people were keen to share their thoughts. One TikTok user asked: “Can you prepare the carrots in the dressing and store in [the] fridge until later then cook in the air fryer?”

Qia replied: “Yes definitely saves so much time for the main event.”

A third shared: “I followed the instructions and mine turned out so good.” A fourth said: “Need to try these ASAP looks so good.”

And another added: “Mmm I love these carrots, they’re my favourite thing on the dinner for me.”
