Honeyed Carrots and Oranges

Okay, this recipe sounds like a strange combo! Carrots and oranges?! But, don't judge it by just looking at it. It is delicious! My mom cooked this for Thanksgiving. It came from the REAL SIMPLE magazine. It takes no time to make, and it's a fun way to add some flavor to your veggies! 

Ingredients: 
2 lb bag of baby carrots, or thinly sliced carrots 
1 orange, cut into pieces (approximately 8)
2 tbs olive oil
2 tbs honey
2 tbs small dill sprigs
salt and pepper
Honeyed Carrots and Oranges

Heat oven to 375. Toss carrots and sliced orange on a baking sheet with oil, honey, salt, and pepper. Make sure that the carrots are all covered with the glaze. Cook in oven for 30-35 minutes or until carrots are tender. After 15 minutes, toss carrots and oranges a second time and then place back in the oven for the remainder of the time. Sprinkle with the dill sprigs and enjoy!
