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.

  • Initially thought 2 pounds was too much. I was completely wrong, Family totally devoured. Thanks, Jen

  • This is a huge favorite here. I use the same sauce on cauliflower, and it’s just as delicious!

  • Hi – I love carrots and curry and am planning on making these in the near future. Just curious why you line your baking sheets with tin foil. Is it simply for easier clean up? Really trying to cut down on kitchen waste these days (especially plastic) so again, just curious :).

    • Yes, it’s just for quick clean up, so if you’d prefer to skip it, that’s fine. Just stir them a few times to prevent them from sticking. Enjoy!

    • Do you need to peel the carrots before roasting or just wash them well?

      • Yes, I would peel them first. Enjoy!

  • Love this recipe and also love that my super picky kid enjoys it too. I want to make it again but currently don’t have honey on hand. Do you have any sub suggestions? Thanks!

    • Hi Kate, You can use maple syrup or sugar.

  • If I am doubling this due to crowd size. Do I double everything? Sometimes spices can be overpowering when doubling. Thank you.

    • Hi Cathleen, I’d recommend doubling everything. Hope you enjoy!

  • These are absolutely delicious. I wish I could give them more than 5 stars. The whole house smells awesome after we have these. They are so sweet, it is like having candy for supper.

  • Would you use a Silpat liner for this, or would it stain with the curry? It sounds so yum!

    • Hi Carol, I don’t have enough experience with Silpat liners to say whether or not it would get stained — sorry!

  • Would these go well with a ham for Easter?

    • Hi Mo, I think they would be fine with ham, but you may also want to take a look at this roasted carrot recipe as it’s a little more middle-of-the-road. Hope you enjoy whatever you make!

  • I’ve been making these on repeat the past few weeks and can’t wait to make them again tonight. They are so, so good! My kids won’t eat cooked carrots, and that’s just fine with me — I don’t want to share!

  • These are crazy good!
