Recipe of the Month
Oven Roasted Carrots
2 1/2 pounds carrots, peeled and cut into sticks 3 inches (7 1/2 cm) long and 1/2 inch (12 mm) wide
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 to 2 limes (optional)
2 tablespoons honey
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Position 2 oven racks in the centermost positions. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl or on a baking sheet, combine the carrots, oil, and salt and toss to coat evenly. Divvy the carrots up between the baking sheets and spread them in a single layer. Roast the carrots, turning them once, until tender and lightly caramelized in spots, 25 to 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, if using the lime, finely grate the zest from a single lime and set it aside. Halve the lime and squeeze enough juice to measure 1 1/2 tablespoons, using a second lime if necessary.
About 5 minutes before the carrots are done, in a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the honey, cayenne pepper, and lime zest and juice, if using, and stir just until hot and bubbly. Remove the pan from the oven, pour the honey mixture over the carrots, and turn them to coat well.

Community Service Hits Home this Season
4th Annual “Do GOOD for Deb” Weekend of Community Service and Acts of Kindness
This year marks 13 years since Bee Veda’s Allie Tice lost her Mom to metastatic breast cancer. The illness that took her was not what defined her. Allie’s Mom was caring, big-hearted, and kind. She loved to be in service to her community and relished an opportunity to give back. The annual "Do GOOD for Deb" celebration is our way of honoring her legacy of kindness and care.
We’d love for you to participate!
We recognize that COVID-19 has made this holiday season challenging, and that's why we compiled a list of 10 safe ways to participate. Choose one, several, or feel free to create your own!
