Garam masala isn’t a spice I normally have on hand (that will no longer be the case), but after seeing a similar recipe on a cooking show and wishing I could have a bite, I knew I had to go buy some.

There are countless variations of the spice blend, but some of the common spices you’ll find in it are; cinnamon, cumin, cardamom, white and/or black pepper, coriander, cloves, mace and bay leaves. The flavor is sweet from the cinnamon, lemony from the coriander and cardamom, earthy from the cumin and a little spice from the pepper.  It’s a perfect pairing to combine with sweet honey and carrots.

Honey, olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper and of course the garam masala are all whisked together then poured over the carrots. I used rainbow carrots because they’re my favorite, but regular carrots work just fine. The carrots are tossed in the sticky, fragrant mixture until they’re coated, then roasted in the oven until they’re tender, but not mushy.

Besides the flavor, the second best thing about these carrots is the way they smell while they are roasting. Before serving the carrots top them with chopped pistachios and mint. The pistachios add a nice crunch to the side dish and the mint has a wonderful fresh flavor to go with the sweet spice of the carrots.

On the second day, I chopped up the leftovers and added them to my salad. However you decide to serve them, they’re sure to be your new favorite way to eat carrots. Enjoy!
