How to Make Harissa Honey Roasted Carrots
Important: Cook time will vary depending on the size of your carrots, so check them regularly and pull from the oven when fork tender.
Finish with the Glaze
I’ve tested this recipe several times, and although harissa makes a wonderful marinade in other recipes – I don’t recommend it here.
Instead, we’re using it as a glaze. This is an essential step because of the high temperature we’re roasting the carrots at. Instead of burning the honey harissa glaze, we’re using it as a super flavorful finish on the carrots.
Trust me on this one!

Ingredients
- 1 lb medium sized carrots, peeled with stems cut off
- 1 tbsp olive oil

- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup harissa
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 1/2 cups Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic, grated

Instructions
- Roast the carrots: Toss the carrots with olive oil, half of the salt, and half of the pepper. Spread out on a baking sheet and roast at 400°F until fork tender (about 20 minutes), flipping them at the halfway point.
