- ½ teaspoon dried parsley

Notes
Storing and reheating
Storing:
Pop any leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge and they will last for up to 4 days.
Reheating:
When you’re ready to reheat, warm them in the oven at 375 for 8 to 12 minutes, or in the air fryer at 350 for 4 to 6 minutes. I’d splash on a little olive or avocado oil first, just to freshen them up.
FAQs
Can I use frozen carrots or cauliflower?
Yeah, you totally can, but heads up, they hold a lot of water. That usually means less crispy, kinda meh results. If frozen is what you’ve got, pat them super dry first, crank up the heat a bit, and keep in mind they won’t roast as beautifully as fresh.
Can I use regular honey?
For sure! If you’re not into heat, or you’ve got picky kids around, regular honey is just fine.
Can I use the air fryer?
Oh, heck yes! I live for my air fryer, you know? Quick, no fuss, no drama. Roast them at 375 for about 14 to 18 minutes. Toss the veggies with the oil and seasonings first, throw them in, and then brush on the honey during the last 5 minutes. Don’t forget to shake that basket halfway through. You’ll get sweet, sticky veggies that are perfect for munching on game day or, honestly, just straight from the basket, no shame.
