  • 2 tablespoons sriracha (adjust to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Yogurt Sauce:

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

    • Toss carrots in the mixture until well coated.
  3. Roast Carrots:
    • Arrange carrots on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer.
    • Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway, until tender and caramelized.
  4. Prepare Yogurt Sauce:
    • In a bowl, mix yogurt, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, paprika, salt, and pepper until smooth.

Notes

  • Serving Suggestions: Pairs well with grilled meats or as part of a vegetarian meal.
  • Storage: Store carrots and sauce separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheating: Reheat carrots in a 350°F oven for 10 minutes. Serve sauce chilled.
  • Pro Tips:
    • Cut carrots uniformly for even cooking.
    • Adjust sriracha to control spice level.
    • For extra caramelization, broil carrots for the last 2-3 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
  • Common Mistakes to Avoid:
    • Overcrowding the baking sheet, which can lead to steaming instead of roasting.
    • Skipping the flip halfway through roasting, which ensures even cooking and caramelization.
