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.

Hands down – the BEST carrots I’ve ever eaten. In fact, I don’t really like carrots, but these were amazing! They’re super easy to make too.
This is my favorite carrot recipe. The sweet and spicy combo makes them super addictive. They definitely go quickly every time I make them!
Hi Jen.
Looking forward to making this! Can you tell me which brand of curry powder you used?
Thanks!
Hi Yolanda, I use McCormick curry powder. Hope you enjoy the carrots!
Have you tried Penzey’s curries? I find all of penzey’s spices are superior to typical grocery store spices, and they are comparably priced.
I’ll have to give them a try!
Jenn, if you want to try a curry you will really love, try this one: Sun Brands Madras Curry. Not in many stores, I buy it on Amazon. It’s wonderful

Thanks for the suggestion! 🙂
This recipe is a winner. The curry and honey with the roasted carrots definitely make for an interesting and complex taste combination. I have made this recipe several times and my teenagers love it as much as my husband and me.
Absolutely delicious, thank you Jenn!!! I made these for a large family gathering and they were the star of the meal! Will definitely be using this recipe again! Super simple and super tasty!
I loved the description of you eating a whole pan of these! Inspired me to make them too, and yes they are vegetable candy!
What a fantastic way to “spice” up my roasted carrotts! This is simple and delicious and has had guests wondering the recipe! Thank you Jenn!
Delicious!!!!! The carrots were served at a family gathering and were a huge success. Several people commented that they did not like curry, but changed their mind with the carrots. Thank you for rewarding me with many compliments.
I make this at least once a week…for lunch, a snack or dinner! Definitely addictive
I made these carrots along with your quiche Lorraine and spinach quiche for a brunch with friends and they were a hit! Everything was delicious and the carrots melted in your mouth. Thank you so much for such wonderful (and expertly detailed) recipes!
Excellent recipe! These are known as “the good carrots” in my house. I usually serve it as a side dish to roasted chicken but also delicious with your chicken curry recipe
