Kyle’s Kitchen- Honey harissa roasted carrots with yogurt sauce

This Kyle Original recipe goes perfectly with roasted chicken or fish in the summertime.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound of whole peeled carrots
  • 1 heaping tbsp of harissa paste (can find in the ethnic food aisle at most grocery stores)
  • 1 tbsp of honey
  • 1 glug of olive oil
  • 1 tbsp of FRESH lemon juice
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • Crushed pistachios for garnish
  • Ingredients for yogurt sauce
  • 1 cup whole fat plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tsp of Sumac
  • 1 Pinch of cumin
  • tbsp of FRESH lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425
  • Wash, peel and pat carrots dry and put them into a large mixing bowl
  • Add remaining ingredients to the bowl and mix well
  • Arrange carrots on a parchment paper (or foil or nonstick spray) lined baking sheet, pour remaining sauce from the bowl over the carrots
  • Roast carrots in oven for 20-25 minutes. You want them to be soft yet still firm, and a light char around the tips will make them taste better
  • While carrots are roasting make the sauce by combining all ingredients and giving them a good whisking to mix
  • On a serving platter spread the yogurt sauce across the bottom creating a bed for the carrots to rest on
  • Once carrots are done roasting, arrange them on top of the sauce and finish by sprinkling the crushed pistachios over the top, followed by a light drizzle of good olive oil. I like to finish mine with a fine sprinkling of flaky sea salt.
