Sweet and Spicy Roasted Carrots 🥕

This dish was inspired by my quest to perfect an Asian-style carrot salad. I stumbled upon a wickedly spicy sauce that stole the show during the process. Initially too intense, I tempered the sauce with organic honey, creating a delightfully sweet and spicy harmony. It transformed a simple veggie stir-fry into a flavor explosion.

Sweet and Spicy Roasted Carrots Ingredients List

To make the best oven-roasted glazed carrots you will need the following ingredients:
1.5 pounds baby carrots
3 tablespoons sesame oil
2 Fresno chili peppers sliced
2 tablespoons honey
2 teaspoons chili paste
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 scallion sliced

Instructions

Preparation Steps

Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C)
Combine the baby carrots, sesame oil, honey, chili paste, lime juice, sliced Fresno chili peppers, and kosher salt in a medium to large bowl.
If desired, add fresh cracked pepper to taste.

Cooking Instructions

Spread the carrot mixture in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Avoid lining it with foil to prevent tearing as the honey caramelizes.
Place the baking sheet on the middle rack of the hot oven and roast for 15 minutes.
Stir the carrots and continue to roast for an additional 15 minutes.
Use a spatula to scrape up all the caramelized bits from the bottom of the pan and mix them with the carrots.
Serve hot.
