5-Ingredient Magic

Harissa Honey Carrots

Name: Harissa Honey Carrots
Ingredients: 2 pounds carrots, peeled and halved lengthwise; 3 tablespoons harissa paste; 3 tablespoons honey; 2 tablespoons olive oil; Salt

Roasted carrots get a North African-inspired glaze that balances heat, sweetness, and smoke in perfect harmony.

1 min Mild Rebel 5 ingredients

Ingredients

2 pounds carrots, peeled and halved lengthwise
3 tablespoons harissa paste
3 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt

Preparation

The key here is letting the carrots get truly caramelized before adding the glaze. That initial roasting concentrates their natural sugars, creating a foundation of sweetness that stands up beautifully to harissa's fiery complexity.

Preparation

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
Toss carrots with olive oil and a generous pinch of salt on a rimmed baking sheet.
Roast for 25 minutes, stirring once, until carrots are tender and beginning to brown.
Whisk together harissa and honey in a small bowl. Pour over carrots and toss to coat.
Return to oven for 5-7 minutes until glaze is bubbling and sticky. Serve immediately.
