Roasted Harissa Carrots are baked in the oven until they get caramelized and delicious. The harissa adds a warming spice to the carrots. These are delicious as a side dish, or served topped with some feta or yogurt.

I love harissa. I've been adding it to everything lately. Beans, cauliflower, eggs, butter. I've even made my own harissa paste from harissa powder!

And now carrots. I love tossing these carrots with just a bit of harissa spice and then baking to perfection in the oven. These roasted harissa carrots wind up just the right amount of spicy with a tiny touch of sweet.

I love eating the carrots alongside some delicious salmon like this Air Fryer Salmon or this Air Fryer Greek Chicken.

Ingredients:

  • Carrots
  • Olive oil
  • Harissa powder
  • Salt
  • Pepper

What is harissa?

Harissa is a hot chili paste from North Africa. In this recipe, we use the powdered spice version, though there are pastes and jarred condiments as well. It's both peppery and spicy, and also has a bit of citrus flavor.

Where can you buy harissa?

You can buy harissa at most grocery stores or online! The spice is usually easy to find at my regular grocery store, but I'm not always able to easily get the paste.

How else to use harissa:

Harissa is delicious in so many dishes! If you also love the flavor of harissa, try this creamy harissa pasta, this harissa cauliflower, or this harissa butter.

How to make:

First, preheat your oven. Then, take your carrots and wash and dry them. Peel if desired.

Then, slice at an angle into pieces ½ inch thick.
