Roasted Curried Carrots

Slow-roasted curried carrots are one of nature's greatest gifts. It's sweet and savory and oh so so so deeeelish. When you slow roast carrots, something divine happens. Like us, Kara is obsessed with them so she treated us to these delicious babies when we came over to her house. When you add savory spices like curry to the carrots, it just takes it to the next level. The carrots get soft yet caramelized and cripsy, and glisten with intense flavor. Add some chopped cilantro and hummus, and woah you've got the perfect appetizer or light meal.
