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.

Super flavourful and foolproof. Renders crisp + sweet veggies.
Jenn, my grand daughter says that you nailed it with this one. I only made half a recipe as there were just the two of us…BIG MISTAKE. We polished it off. I make a coconut, ginger, apple dahl (no curry in it) that I serve with warm naan, would this go with it or would the flavors fight each other? Thanks for another winner.
Hi Carol, I think they would pair nicely together (and tell your granddaughter thank you)! 🙂
This recipe makes carrots taste like sweet potato fries. Delicious! Even my picky 10yr old loved them — withOUT ketchup!
Delicious! So glad I tried them.
These carrots are so good! I made them last night and could have just eaten a bowl of them for dinner and nothing else!
This simple but delicious side will elevate your meal. Everyone loves it, including little kiddos.
Made this with carrots from our vegetable box – came out great. Loved the curry and honey on the carrots – perfect mix of flavors – thanks for dressing up our dinner!
I think this is a tasty way to dress up carrots as they are to me a bit bland by themselves and this take is a welcome departure from the ubiquitous carrots and dill recipes.
It is fun to make and delicious. I didn’t have any honey so I used pure maple syrup instead.
should you peel carrots first or leave skin on?
I’d peel them. Enjoy!
Hi Jen,
Would this side dish go with roast turkey we are having for Christmas Eve dinner? I’m planning to make this unless you have any suggestions.
Thanks, Rose G.
Hi Rose, While it wouldn’t be bad paired with roast turkey, I think this recipe (which is very similar but has no curry) would be better. Hope that helps and that you enjoy whatever you decide on!
If the carrots are organic no need to peel, just wash.
These were a huge hit at our dinner table. In our 24 years of marriage, my husband has passed over and over on cooked carrots. He will always be polite and eat just one or two bites. This time he actually asked for a second helping!!!!! Thank you for helping me again.
