5-Ingredient Magic
Harissa Yogurt Carrots
Whole carrots get the royal treatment with North African heat and cooling yogurt. This is what carrots were meant to be.
Ingredients
- 8 medium carrots, peeled
- 4 tablespoons harissa paste
- 250g Greek yogurt
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
Preparation
There's something deeply satisfying about eating a whole roasted carrot—it feels primal and elegant at once. The harissa provides complex heat while honey tempers it into something balanced and crave-worthy.
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F).
- Toss carrots with olive oil, 2 tablespoons harissa, and honey until evenly coated.
- Arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 30-35 minutes, turning halfway, until tender and caramelized.
- While carrots roast, mix yogurt with remaining 2 tablespoons harissa.
- Spread harissa yogurt on a serving platter and arrange roasted carrots on top.
The creamy, tangy yogurt acts as a cooling counterpoint to the spiced carrots. Serve this warm or at room temperature—it works either way.
