For enhanced flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the honey-butter mixture for a touch of heat. If fennel fronds are unavailable, a small amount of fresh dill or anise seeds can be used as a substitute. Roasting time may vary depending on the thickness of the carrots and the accuracy of your oven. Check for tenderness with a fork. To prevent the vegetables from sticking to the baking sheet, line it with parchment paper. Adjust the amount of honey to your liking, depending on the sweetness of the carrots and onions.
