Honey & Whisky Glazed Carrots In A Bag

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C/160°C/Gas 4. Take an 35cm x 40cm rectangle of baking paper and fold it in half. Cut a large half-heart shape out – when you open it up it should look like a heart.

2. Trim and peel the carrots, then slice them on the diagonal to make 1cm-thick slices. Scoop them into a large bowl. Pick the leaves off the thyme sprigs and add them to the carrots. Drop in the bay leaf. Slice the oranges into rounds and add them to the carrots. Pour over the honey and whisky. Add 1 tbsp olive oil and some salt and pepper to the carrots. Use your hands to turn the carrots to coat them in the oil and seasoning.

3. Scoop the carrots, orange slices and herbs onto one half of the paper heart you made earlier. Dot the butter over the carrots. Fold the other half of the paper heart over the top. Starting at the bottom, pleat the two sides together till you get ¾ of the way to the top. Pour in any honey and whisky left in the bowl. Pleat the rest of the paper together till you have a sealed parcel.

4. Pop the parcel on a baking tray. Slide into the oven and bake for 30 mins. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a couple of mins, then carefully open the bag and shake the carrots and their buttery glaze into a serving dish. Serve straight away.
