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.

I made this recipe using carrots and parsnips…very, very tasty.
Love that idea!
I served the curried carrots with butter chicken and rice. It was such an interesting contrast of tastes. Will definitely make this recipe again.
Delicious. I definitely needed more time cooking mine as I did not peel the carrots. (I used organic and scrubbed them with my veggie brush.)
This might be the best carrot recipe ever. I made them for friends and they were a huge hit. Since I’m drowning in CSA produce, tonight I made them again and added some quartered skin-on potatoes. Really delicious. This is my new “go to” vegetable recipe. Just perfect!
I made these carrots tonight and have made them numerous times before so finally decided to post a review. They are delicious! And the curry (I used McCormick) is not at all overpowering. My husband and I ate the entire recipe along with your Parmesan smashed potatoes and short ribs from another source. Jenn, love your blog and recipes!
The first time I made this recipe I was concerned that a full recipe would make too much for 3 adults as a side dish. So I halved the amounts. Now I ALWAYS make a full recipe, and try not to be the last one to dish my plate, or the first as I could easily eat the entire recipe.
I made the Curried Carrots tonight for Rosh Hashanah dinner and everybody raved…definitely a keeper. I prepared the carrots (I doubled the recipe) earlier in the day and then popped them in the oven when it was time to eat. thank you!
Curried Carrots!! I’m always looking for new ways to prepare fresh carrots. This is a winner with a wonderful complimentary flavor of curry which goes so nicely with the sweetness of the carrots. I’ve made it many times and always forget how really good it is!
The curried carrots were excellent.y husband loves them. This definitely a recipe I will put in to rotation. Delicious! Thanks for sharing
These are great for anyone like me that needs an occasional “curry fix”. I can enjoy without guilt. I think they are great as is but you can always adjust the amount of curry and honey to suit your taste.
