With "hot honey" in the name, you already know the carrots are going to be both sweet and spicy. Sugar, sea salt, honey, and molasses create that candied sweetness that our reviewer finds to "sit naturally on the carrots, so it doesn't come across as syrupy or artificial." Already off to such a promising start, the subtle heat only makes it better.
In this sweet-and-spicy skillet dinner, lean boneless pork chops and carrots are glossed in a simple yet impactful trio of honey, habanero chiles and lime. These honey-habanero pork chops with carrots are sweet and spicy in really cool ways. You start by charring some carrots in a hot, hot skillet. In the same skillet, you add your pork chops, which have been dusted with paprika, and you add two habanero chilies.
