Honey-roasted harissa carrots

The flavor in these harissa carrots with honey is AMAZING, whether served as a side dish to your main meal, with salad or, as I discovered by chance, on toasted sourdough bread.

Carrots provide plenty of fiber, which is essential for gut health – which in turn is essential for mental as well as physical well-being.

In short: Eat your veg!

Ingredients

• 500 grams carrots, peeled and sliced
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 ½- 2 teaspoons harissa spice (find it in stores with Middle Eastern selection – inexpensive and amazing taste)
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon brown sugar
• Salt, to taste
• 2-3 tablespoons freshly chopped parsley to garnish
• 2-3 tablespoons of feta cheese, crumbled

Method

• Set oven at 210 degrees Celsius
• Peel and cut carrots, then place in an oven proof dish
• In a small bowl, mix honey, brown sugar, harissa and cumin – give it a whirl in the microwave if too solid
• Sprinkle over the carrots and toss so that the honey-spice mix is evenly distributed
• Sprinkle salt over the carrots
• Bake in oven for about 20 minutes, stir 1-2 times along the way to make sure honey-spice mix is evenly covered and the carrots are evenly baked
• Remove from oven, then turn on grill function at 250 degrees Celsius
• Return carrots to oven and bake for another 7-10 minutes to get the bbq touch
