🐰 Easter Pairing: Honey-roasted carrots

Sit at my table for a festive holiday dinner and I’ll more-than-likely be pouring a Beaujolais. Whether it’s Easter, Thanksgiving or Christmas, I find that Gamay is the easiest and most versatile wine to pair with the wide array of foods and flavours you’ll be enjoying. My favourite side dish to contribute these days? Why, honey-roasted carrots of course. They’re super easy to prep and the roasting process is very hands-off and simple, allowing you to focus on all the other stuff you’ve got going on. They’re crunchy, sweet and oh-so-tasty, and just begging to be washed down with a tall glass of Beauj. This example from JP Brun has been a personal favourite lately – serve slightly chilled!
