Ingredients

  • 6 medium carrots approximately 600–700 g
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • cup tomato sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon garlic salt
  • ½ teaspoon onion salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C (fan-forced).
  • Peel and trim the carrots, then cut them into thick lengths, keeping enough structure to resemble rib-style pieces.
  • Heat a generous drizzle of olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the carrots and cook for a few minutes, allowing them to begin softening slightly.
  • Add tomato sauce and honey to the pan, followed by paprika, garlic salt, and onion salt. Stir well to coat the carrots evenly in the mixture.
  • Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened and become sticky, thoroughly coating the carrots.
  • Transfer the glazed carrots to a baking tray lined with baking paper and place in the preheated oven.
  • Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are slightly caramelised and the carrots are tender with a rich, smoky aroma.
  • Serve immediately as a side or main, with a flavour and texture reminiscent of traditional barbecue ribs.
