These sweet and spicy roasted carrots make a fabulous side dish, but they’re also delicious all on their own. In fact, on those rare (and dare I say treasured) nights when I’m on my own for dinner and don’t feel like fussing with a full meal, I’ll make them for myself as a main course. They’re like vegetable candy, and I can easily polish off the entire pan myself.

  • My kids continually chant “we hate cooked carrots;”. however I really wanted to keep trying way to it’s get vegetables into them. I made this recipe for Friday night dinner and everybody absolutely loved it. thank you for this!!

  • Great preparation for carrots. One of my favorite vegetables to use; and the addition of a the curry powder is a nice twist. Served with roast chicken and rosemary quinoa.

  • Another great veggie dish that I am looking foward to making. Thanks for sharing all of your wonderful recipes. I so loved the salad with the bulgur wheat and ceci beans. I shared it with my co-workers and they suggested adding some feta cheese and calmata olives cut-up. It added so much flavor and nutritive value to the dish. Also keeps well when kept for 3-4 days in the fridge.

    • Thanks, Diane. So happy you liked it, and love your suggestion to add feta and olives!

  • Will make these this week! I cooked for myself for 2 years and would do the same thing, make a vegetable dish and just have that with some cheese or something like that. I can’t count the number of times I made your roasted brussels sprouts recipe and did just the same thing. Thank you again for another wonderful, but simple recipe. Those sugar cookies are also on my agenda.
