Honey Harissa Rainbow Carrots

What’s up doc?  These sweet and spicy Honey Harissa Rainbow Carrots with yogurt sauce are so amazing.

They seriously take rabbit food to whole ‘nother level!

Since carrots are naturally sweet, adding a little heat really enhances their inherent flavors.  I mixed up a little spicy harissa, some honey, olive oil, garlic, salt and cider vinegar.  Coated my carrots in the sauce and baked them at 375 for 35 minutes.  

They are still a little firm which I like, cause mushy veggies are really just baby food.  And I’ve got teeth and I’m not afraid to use them!

When I’m serving spicy dishes I like at add a little something to balance them out.  The yogurt sauce has a really nice cooling effect that brings out the carrots earthiness.❄  Mmmmm – delish!

These Honey Harissa Rainbow Carrots are a delightful veggie easy enough to make any night of the week.  And a wonderful addition to your veggie side dish line-up!  And if you want something besides carrots, try this amazing low carb roasted cauliflower or this super-easy low carb cauliflower mash!
