I, just like George Washington, can not tell a lie: These are not Carrot Vichy. If you don’t know what Carrot Vichy is, clearly you’ve never googled it. According to Epicurious, it’s thinly sliced carrots cooked in butter, sugar, and Vichy water(whatever the hell that is) and sprinkled with parsley. Instead I made these with honey and olive oil for a lighter flavor, and swapped the herbs for what I had on hand.
(Almost) Carrots Vichy
Ingredients:
- 1lb large carrots, sliced thin
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 2 Tablespoons honey
- 1 Tablespoon dried herbs
- salt to taste
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Thinly slice the carrots about 1/4-inch thick and put them in a mixing bowl.
Pour in the olive oil and honey.
Next add in the salt and herbs(I used dill; herbs de Provence would also be good here) and mix it all together. Lay out the carrots on a baking tray and cook for about 45-55 minutes or until the carrots are soft and tender.
I don’t care what you call them; these are tasty. Every other time I’ve made roasted carrots they’ve come out tough, but these were actually soft. But I guess since I used tap water these are Carrots Tap?
i didn’t know it was called that! my mother in law makes that all the time and i love it! so simple but full of flavor!
I think I would actually like these, and I’m not the biggest fan of carrots. They look so good!
ha. aha. carrot tap. I see what ya did there. They look great.
dear Evan.
nice POTUS reference.

I have clearly never googled never googled that because I didn’t know what to expect with your title. I like carrots tap… It’s nice and unique.
Love roasted carrots. Well basically any veggies roasted turns out amazing.
Vichy water is sparkling mineral water from the Vichy springs in France. I know this because my crazy mother is obsessed with it. Just give me a bottle of seltzer and I’m good…
These do look amazing though. Cooked carrots are even better than raw in my opinion!
I just bought a 5 pound bag of carrots, and this sounds delicious! Interestingly enough, I was watching some food network show recently in which vichy carrots were made
You are on a roll with your delicious vegetables lately!
Thank you for noticing! I’ve been trying to eat healthily gearing up for my marathon. I would also offer my first born for a brownie right now.
I love cooking carrots with a smidgen of honey! I always add some chilli, too, but then again I’m addicted to spice 🙂
Oh come now, surely “Carrots faucet” is what you mean–a Gallic rooted word at least, with a nice acute on the final syllable!
These kinds of roasted veg are almost like dessert to me…
I love carrots!! 😀 These sound FABULOUS! 😀

Carrots tap or not, those look incredible. I love carrots. Roasted are my favorite, but I’ll try any carrot combo one.
Carrots Tap, ha! I am not a huge fan of raw carrots… cooked in any form is the way to go, and these look fantastic.
Simple and tasty–love it!
