The combination of creamy blue cheese and sweet local honey goes fantastically with sliced pears, apples, or even just a crusty baguette. I decided to pair them with sweet, roasted baby carrots instead for a quick and easy (yet very elegant) side dish. Roasting the colorful baby carrots brings out their natural sweetness which is only accentuated with a drizzle of your favorite local honey over the warm vegetables. Oh, and the warmth of the carrots melts the dreamy blue cheese crumbles ever-so-slightly…making this dish totally irresistible.
