EQUIPMENT NEEDED

Instructions

Notes
Substitutions
Carrots- I like to use regular carrots but you can use baby carrots. If you use baby carrots be sure to cut them in half or fourths so they don't take longer to cook than the asparagus.
Garlic powder- You can use any seasoning that you like.
Honey- Maple syrup will work if you don't have honey.
Tips
After your carrots and asparagus are done cooking turn the oven to broil and let them cook under the broiler for 5 minutes to get them nice and crispy.
Storing and reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
You can reheat your leftovers in the microwave if you don't have much time but the best way to reheat them is in the oven. Bake them at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 minutes or until warmed through.
