i tried to use corn syrup as a vegan honey substitute for a glaze of spiced nuts for roasted carrots and let me tell you that corn taste is a bit off and I really should have just like idk made a simple syrup with sugar or something
i wish vegans would just eat honey it’s just bees I didn’t vote to consider bugs animals (but even though I disagree i’m not gonna feed people honey like the cooks I work with who sometimes “forget” it isn’t vegan)

Maple syrup could have worked. But yeah, it’s often also worth changing up plans, like maybe just roast the nuts as well and put them on top with some chives or balsamico creme for the looks. Of course, I don’t know what kind of constraints you’re working with, though…

I work at a private college and i’m not in a management position so I don’t do any ordering and am constrained by budget but everyone loves, respects and fears my powerful ability to cook so I can pretty much freestyle dishes however I want to as long as i’m getting the food out on time and it tastes good
I haven’t asked about honey substitutes yet but I’ve recently gotten them to try a vegan chicken stock that has proven really adequate for adding a lot of flavor to risotto or fake chicken dishes, and i just got them to try a different vegan mozzarella that turned out to be better than the sysco brand shit they were getting
