Ingredients
Carrots
- 2 pounds carrots, peeled and sliced into 2-inch pieces
Coating Mixture
- 3 Tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 Tablespoons harissa paste
- 2 Tablespoons honey
- 1½ teaspoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
Garnish
- Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
Instructions
- Prep: Peel the carrots and cut them into 2-inch pieces to ensure even roasting and tenderness.
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 400°F to preheat, preparing it for roasting the carrots.
- Make Coating Mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, harissa paste, honey, apple cider vinegar, and kosher salt to create a flavorful glaze for the carrots.
- Coat Carrots: Toss the sliced carrots in the harissa butter mixture, making sure each piece is well coated for maximum flavor.
- Arrange for Roasting: Spread the coated carrots evenly in a single layer on a baking sheet or in a large baking dish to allow even roasting.
- Roast: Bake the carrots in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, turning halfway through to ensure they brown evenly and become fork-tender.
- Serve: Once roasted, transfer the carrots to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and freshness.
Notes
- Use fresh carrots for the best flavor and texture.
- Tossing the carrots halfway through cooking helps them brown evenly.
- Adjust the harissa quantity to your preferred spice level.
- For a vegan option, substitute butter with olive oil.
- These carrots pair wonderfully with grilled meats or as a side to grain bowls.
