These roasted carrots with harissa make the perfect side dish recipe for a weeknight dinner or casual get-together. Tender carrots are loaded with sweet and spicy flavors and come together in just 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 400 F degrees. Peel the carrots and slice into 2 inch pieces.
In a bowl whisk together melted butter, harissa, honey vinegar, and salt ingredients. Toss the carrots to coat with the spice mixture. Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet or in a large baking dish.
Bake for 25 minutes until the carrots have started brown and are fork tender. Be sure to toss halfway through to ensure even cooking. Serve with a sprinkle of parsley.
Notes
If the honey begins to caramelize too much add a little water to the pan before it burns.
Harissa paste varies in heat use between 1 and 3 Tablespoons depending on your heat preference.
You can cut the carrots into thin strips or small rounds to reduce the cooking time.
If you use salted butter reduce the salt by a ¼ teaspoon or so.
Vegan/ Dairy-Free Option
Replace the butter with olive oil (no need to warm) and substitute maple syrup for the honey.
🌡️Storing Leftovers
To store leftover roasted carrots place them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-5 days. For longer storage, freeze in a sealed container for up to 6-8 months. When ready to eat, reheat in the oven or microwave until warmed through.
