Instructions
Moroccan Carrots Even though carrots are naturally sweet, it does not hurt to add a bit more sweetness with some maple syrup, brown sugar or, in this case, honey. Likewise, adding warm spices works well to compliment the sweetness.
Jenny's Tip: - Once roasted, serve these beautiful carrots with a generous amount of crumbled, sharp and salty feta cheese. You can certainly use parsley to add the herb flavor but cool, fragrant mint is common in Moroccan and Middle Eastern cooking, and the blend with the sweet honey is delicious.
Cardamom has a unique flavor and aroma that defies the boundaries of normal sensory comparisons. It is compellingly strong, yet delicate; sweet, yet powerful; with an almost eucalyptus freshness.
