These roasted carrots hit that sweet-heat sweet spot with zero fuss. Blanching keeps them tender inside, while a hot oven brings out caramelized edges and depth. Finished with butter and Spiceology Smoky Honey Habanero Seasoning, they balance gentle smoke, honeyed sweetness, and a warm chile kick—proof that a simple vegetable side can still bring serious flavor to the table.
