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.

  • Best carrots I have EVER had. Perfect flavor combination!

  • I’ve been meaning to try these for a while now and finally have. Used peeled baby carrots because they were all I had and were delish. Will definitely use regular carrots next time since they tend to be sweeter. Only regret is that my boyfriend and I had to share a pound when we could have easily devoured two. Thank you for an easy, enjoyable recipe 🙂

  • Yum. This looks amazing. A bowl of these could be my dinner too!

  • Jenn, That was an awesome recipe.Never thought that something so simple can be so delicious. When i made it the second time i reduced the size of the sliced carrots and my kids finished everything even before it reached the dining table.Thank you so much for this delicious dish.

  • Finally tried the curried roasted carrots and loved them, as I expected. It was my dinner,

    I used peeled baby carrots, sliced length-wise, for a lazy guy’s version. And added some fresh lemon zest, which really shocked it alive. It’s a new favorite!

  • I made this dish with a colorful variety of carrots (purple, orange, white). My husband loved it.

  • A new twist on carrots – they were great!

  • Had them the other night – very delicious, but the house smells of curry

  • This Curry Roasted Carrot dish is wonderful! The only thing I changes was I used a bit less honey and added a light sprinkle of finishing salt at the end. I served this with a toasted cumin crusted , grilled chicken thigh main course, and everyone loved the pairing! Yum! Thanks for this,
