Ingredients
Scale
- Rainbow carrots (orange, yellow, purple, and white)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Pinch of black pepper

Instructions

- In a small bowl, mix olive oil, honey or maple syrup, salt, and black pepper. Drizzle over the carrots and toss to coat evenly.

- Transfer the roasted carrots to a serving platter. Sprinkle the Froot Loop dust generously over the carrots.
- Optional: Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for added freshness. Serve immediately.
