Roasted rainbow carrots make an easy side dish look fancy with their naturally bright colors, velvety texture and candy-like sweetness. They’re tasty all on their own, but beyond delicious coated in nutty, crunchy Egyptian dukkah,<\/a> piled on a bed of cooling, creamy garlicky yogurt and finished with a sprinkling of fresh mint. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’d go all-in on sides and condiments over mains any day of the week. And this whole roasted carrots recipe, with its mixture of textures and temperatures, is one of those stand-out side dishes. Rainbow carrots are typically small, so you can roast them whole at a high temperature and they get gloriously caramelized all over and just a tiny bit burnt at the ends in a way I find totally irresistible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a bonus, they look pretty on a platter, especially one painted with garlicky, salty Greek yogurt. I would admittedly put the yogurt sauce on just about anything, but the tangy flavor and contrast in temperature is a welcome match to the warm and sweet roasted carrots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can stop there, but to me, roasted carrots are almost always too sweet to stand solo. Enter dukkah<\/a>, a nutty, earthy Egyptian condiment with a rustic, crunchy texture. The spices and nuts give the caramelized carrots a satisfying savory quality that tames their sweetness just enough. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get yourself a bite of the cool yogurt, crunchy dukkah, tender roasted carrots, and refreshing mint and you’ll ask yourself why you ever planned the entree first! <\/p>\n\n\n
