Roasted carrots with honey and garlic yogurt sauce

Rainbow carrots roasted with a smoky, peppered flavor. Swizzles tangy, garlicky sauce yogurt. Honey drizzled in a golden syrup with festive pistachios and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro. Is this the most delicious, beautiful new vegetable to grace your tablescape this holiday season? [*tips the hat*] Oh yes, I don’t mind if you do.

The carrots aren’t the mushy, overly sweet carrots that we remember from past holidays. This is a delicious, warmly spiced roast carrot that’s roasted to perfection. These carrots will be a great side dish this year. Or, you can pile them on your plate and call it (holiday).

This is a great way to add a little smokiness and brightness to the holiday spread. It will not only make it stand out but also cut through all of that buttery richness. This is a fun, festive, and unique take on the savory-sweet vegetables. It’s not simply putting toasted marshmallows on top, which ends up being sweet-sweet. ).

Simple but SO GOOD

Here’s our favorite kind of recipe. It’s fake fancy, but you know it and love it. It’s so easy to make, but it looks stunning when it is plated and served. It has a complex flavor with Cumin, paprika, and warm spices. How is it so delicious?

Also, the spoonfuls with garlicky Greek yogurt are a winner. The tanginess is perfect for the warm-smoky sauce, and it looks so pretty on top of the rainbow carrots. Regular carrots will work just as well, but the rainbow ones are a great eye-catcher.

If pistachios are not your thing, try slivered almonds or another chopped nut of your choice. You can also use slivered nuts or any other chopped nut you like if pistachios are not your thing. If you don’t like cilantro, some chopped fresh parsley will do.

How to make these amazing roasted carrots

The process is so much easier after a bit of peeling/chopping. This will be a great feeling when you are trying to balance time and manage all the mashing, mixing, and resting.

1. Carrots. Place your peeled (we sometimes also slice them in half, lengthwise) carrots on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Add your spice mix. Roast for 20 minutes. Yes, for slightly charred sides.
2. Sauce. Mix the yogurt with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
3. Drizzle, then serve. After the carrots have been roasted, drizzle the yogurt over them, add a little honey, and sprinkle some chopped pistachios or fresh cilantro. Prepare yourself for some deliciousness.

How to Serve these roasted carrots

1. This could be the star dish of Christmas in 2021. The carrots are so unique in flavor and feel special compared to other holiday favorites. The carrots are lighter, veg-forward, and still feel deeply cozy and rich. You can place some beautiful jewels next to your mashed potato, turkey, or sage-stuffed stuffing.
2. Once the holidays are over, it’s a recipe that you will want to use again and again. You could make a sheet pan meal with chicken and root vegetables. You can double the recipe and serve these roasted gems as a meal with some warm, crusty bread. You’ll want to use this simple sauce for everything. Probably!
3. Thank you, roasted carrots, for all your unimaginable goodness. You can thank Greek yogurt and garlic for their tang and bite. Warm spices, crunchy nuts, and sweet golden honey are all appreciated. You’ve given us a wonderful gift.
