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.

  • Hi Jenn:
    This recipe looks interesting but is there a substitute for curry! We are not fans of that spice!
    You are hands down my favourite chef. Many of my ‘keeper recipes’ are from you. Thank you so much!
