For a vegan option, substitute the butter with melted coconut oil or vegan butter and the honey with maple syrup or agave. If you don't have hot honey, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to regular honey for a similar kick. Adjust the cooking time based on the size and thickness of your carrots. Thicker carrots may require a few extra minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley or chopped chives for added color and flavor.
