Equipment

Ingredients

2 pounds carrots
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¾ teaspoon smoked paprika
¾ teaspoon ground turmeric
½ teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon black pepper
¼ teaspoon ground cumin
sea salt to taste
2 cups hummus
3 tablespoons hot honey

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray sheet pan with non-stick oil and set aside.
Scrub carrots clean and chop off the stem ends. Cut each carrot into pieces that are roughly one inch thick and 3-4 inches long.
2 pounds carrots
Add cut carrots, oil, and spices to mixing bowl and toss until the carrots are evenly coated.
3 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ¾ teaspoon smoked paprika, ¾ teaspoon ground turmeric, ½ teaspoon ground ginger, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon onion powder, ½ teaspoon black pepper, ¼ teaspoon ground cumin, sea salt
Spread the carrots out onto prepared sheet pan, leaving at least one inch of space between each piece. Roast for about 25 minutes or until carrots are golden and fork-tender.
Spread hummus into a single layer on a plate, then lay cooked carrots over top. Drizzle with hot honey and serve.

Notes

Preparation

Peeling the carrots is optional, and the carrots you see photographed in this post have not been peeled. If you want the prettiest presentation, add about five minutes to your prep time for peeling.

Modifications

If you want to make this spicy honey carrots recipe vegan, use a spicy maple syrup or agave nectar instead of the hot honey.

You can cut up full-sized carrots or use baby carrots in this recipe for more convenience. Just note that hot honey-roasted baby carrots will cook a little quicker, so start checking for doneness 5-10 minutes sooner. Or if you use mini carrots, you can do roasted whole carrots!

Storage

Store leftover carrots separately from hummus in an airtight container. They will keep for up to one week. I recommend reheating in the oven or air fryer for the best texture.

To freeze, I recommend reserving the hot honey glaze and hummus until you're ready to serve the carrots. To keep the carrots from becoming one frozen chunk, spread them out on a sheet pan and freeze for about two hours, then transfer them to a freezer-safe, airtight container. Keeps for up to three months.
