• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a large bowl, combine the sliced carrots, olive oil, paprika, cumin, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to evenly coat the carrots with the spices.

8. Garnish the hurricane carrots with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
9. Serve the hurricane carrots warm as a side dish or as a healthy snack.
