Honey rosemary glazed carrots are an easy delicious side dish, perfect for everyday or that special dinner. I love this dish; the carrots are so tender and sweet and they smell divine.

My mother being the traditional Maltese would never combine any ingredients that were sweet and savoury together, so when I tried honey carrots for the first time, I really enjoyed the flavours. The addition of rosemary enhancing the dish with its earthy, pine-like aroma and flavour, complementing the sweetness of the honey and the natural sweetness of the carrots, makes this side dish absolutely delicious.
