This is a lovely side dish for any occasion!

3 to 4 bunches (depending on size) fresh carrots, peeled
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil or macadamia nut oil
2 tablespoons honey
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Preheat the oven to 450*:F. Cut the carrots into thirds, crosswise on a sharp diagonal. Bring salted water to a boil in a large pot fitted with a steamer basket. Let carrots steam until just tender, about 5 minutes. Drain and place in a bowl. Toss with the oil, honey, salt and pepper. Place the carrots on a baking sheet in a single layer and bake for 25 minutes. Loosen them from the baking sheet with a spatula. Adjust the seasonings and remove to a serving bowl.
