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.

  • I thought these were great. Maybe a little heavy on the curry for my taste. I will add a little less curry or add more carrots next time. I really love how the recipes are presented. The picture of all the ingredients is a great feature.

  • Oh my. I can almost smell these!!! amazing!

  • These were like eating candy for supper! So delicious and easy. My husband, a vegetable hater, ate every last one of his. I made them with pork chops and they were the perfect accompaniment. I let them bake for about 5 minutes longer than the recipe indicates because some of the carrots were thick. This caramelized the smaller pieces beautifully. This goes in the “keeper” file for sure.

  • This recipe was fantastic! What an excellent way to be creative with carrots!

  • Loved them. Might try with parsnips, too.

  • Jennifer, how can something so simple taste simply amazing! I roasted these tonight and the entire family couldn’t stop eating them.

    I have always loved curry and to use it on carrots like this with honey, wow. – Thanks for this recipe.

    By the way, I served it with sauteed green beans and, dare I admit, your Moroccan Chicken, We had so much flavor tonight!!

    • I was thinking it would go great with that Moroccan chicken…so glad you enjoyed it, Jengi!

  • I made the curried roasted carrots and they were fabulous! I ate the whole pan in one sitting, but
    plan to make them again and share them next time 🙂

    • Thanks, Kathy, glad I’m not the only one 🙂

  • Perfect. No honey, though, I prefer the natural sweetness of the carrots.
