Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound carrots, peeled and trimmed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons harissa paste
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, harissa paste, honey (or maple syrup), salt, and pepper. This is your flavor base.
- Add the trimmed carrots to the bowl. Toss them well until every carrot piece is coated evenly with the harissa mixture.
- Spread the coated carrots in a single layer on a baking sheet. Give them space so they roast instead of steam.
- Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, tossing halfway through, until the carrots are tender and slightly caramelized at the edges.
- Serve immediately as your perfect side dish.
Notes
- If you prefer a milder spice level, start with 1 tablespoon of harissa paste and add more to taste.
- For extra texture, sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds or chopped fresh cilantro just before serving.
- Ensure your carrots are cut to a relatively uniform size for even cooking.
