Description
These bites take the idea of a carrot cake and simplify them down to bite sized pieces. They are naturally sweetened with honey, and the perfect snack to take on the go for a quick energy boost.

Instructions
Cook Mode Off: Prevents screen dimming
- Cut carrots into thin strips. Add to a sheet pan with olive oil and salt, and roast for 25 minutes at 425F, stirring halfway. Add to a food processor and blend until you have a puree
- Add the other ingredients to a food processor and blend until mixture turns into a dough-like consistency. You can also mix in a bowl if your food processor is too small to fit it all, as long as you blend up the carrots. Refrigerate until you can shape it without too much sticking
- With a small spoon, scoop the mixture and roll into balls. Place in an airtight container, and store in the fridge or the freezer
