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.

  • LOVE this recipe! Fantastic in everyway and so easy to make!

  • OK, these are just amazing! I love curry and I love honey! The combination is just perfect. This recipe is quick and easy and elegant enough to serve to company.

  • As a substitute to honey try Major Grey Chutney. Patak’s Major Grey Chutney is the BEST.

  • These were absolutely delicious. I made them exactly as the recipe stated, although I worried the amount of curry might be overwhelming and the amount of honey might make them overly sweet. I was wrong on both counts! Perfectly wonderful flavor combinations and just the right amount of spice and sweetness.

  • I plan to take a double batch of curried roasted carrots to my family’s house for Thanksgiving. How can I make them ahead of time so the stay firm and not get mushy by the time we sit down to eat? Thank you. ( love the recipe )

    • Hi Pat, These carrots are great for making ahead of time. They should be fine; just be careful not to reheat them for too long.

  • if i make ahead of time and reheat for a luncheon do i put the honey on the first time i cook or after i reheat?

    • Hi Stacey, Go ahead and add the honey the first time and then all you’ll need to do is reheat. Hope you enjoy!
