It is a truth universally acknowledged that Wednesdays are the best day of the week. Don't believe me? I'll argue my case.
Famously, it's "hump day." Once Wednesday is over, there are only two more days of work left. Or, as I like to think of it when I'm swamped: I still have two more days left to get all my work done.
This next point is very unique to me. My local movie theater offers "Flashback Cinema" on Wednesdays, where you can see an old movie for just $5. I just finished up watching the entire Lord of the Rings trilogy this way.
Finally, the absolute best reason as to why Wednesdays reign supreme is that it's when new Aldi Finds drop. Those blink-and-you'll-miss-them deals that only Aldi knows how to do so well.
Wednesdays are quickly becoming my go-to shopping day so that I never miss out on what Aldi has to offer. And this week? Oh baby, it's hot honey carrot week.
Aldi's Seasoned Choice Hot Honey Carrots are a new addition to the "swicy" food trend that is sweeping across social media and fast food restaurants. For the uninitiated, "swicy" combines "sweet" and "spicy" flavors, which is precisely what hot honey does.
Season’s Choice Hot Honey Carrots
- Price: $2.99 for a 12-ounce bag
- Why I Love It: They’re a quick, affordable side dish that delivers the perfect sweet-and-spicy kick to any weeknight meal.

Why I'm Excited About Aldi Seasoned Choice Hot Honey Carrots
These hot honey carrots come frozen in a 12-ounce bag for only $2.99. It's a no-brainer side dish that pairs well with any protein for a simple weeknight meal. They will heat up quickly in the air fryer or oven, helping you get dinner on the table in no time.
I'm envisioning a one-pan meal that includes Easy Baked Salmon alongside these hot honey carrots, and some frozen broccoli florets if I want to lean into the veg route.
The hot honey carrots would also be perfect served alongside crispy chicken thighs for a delicious meal. The savory, juicy chicken would tast perfect with the sweet and spicy carrots.
For an extra layer of flavor, brush the chicken with a bit of that Berryhill Hot Honey before roasting. If you're a fan of hot honey, you should know that Aldi carries an excellent version of the condiment, and it's $5.29 for a 12-ounce squeeze bottle. I've already gone through two bottles, so it's definitely become a pantry staple in my house.
Hot honey carrots sound so perfect. I really do hope that Aldi branches out into an entire hot honey frozen veggie line. My freezer would be packed to the brim—but my wallet and my taste buds would be very happy.
