Ingredients
- 1 pound carrots, sliced
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 (about 3 pounds) fully cooked ham
- For the biscuits:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
Preparation
Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the sliced carrots with honey, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast for about 20-25 minutes until tender and caramelized.
While the carrots are roasting, prepare the ham. Slice the ham into serving portions and heat in the oven or on the stovetop until warmed through. This will ensure it’s juicy and flavorful.
For the buttermilk biscuits, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Pour in the buttermilk and stir gently until just combined. Turn the dough onto a floured surface, knead lightly, and cut into rounds with a biscuit cutter or glass. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
Serving Suggestions
Arrange the roasted carrots alongside slices of warm ham. Serve the buttermilk biscuits on the side, perfect for scooping up the sweet carrots or the savory ham. Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley if desired for an added touch of flavor and color.
