caramelized garlic carrots

Flavorful caramelized garlic carrots with a creamy, spicy cilantro yogurt sauce. Fresh cut carrots are cooked in butter, sliced garlic cloves, and a touch of sweetener then drizzled with a lovely green dressing and garnished with lots of fresh herbs. An amazing vegetarian side dish that feels fancy and might be your new fav way to eat carrots!

Caramelized Garlic Carrots with Spicy Cilantro Yogurt Sauce

For the carrots:

salted butter

carrots,

salt and pepper

garlic,

honey or maple syrup

Spicy Jalapeno Cilantro Dressing:

cilantro (a big handful)

plain greek yogurt

olive oil oil

lime juice

sugar (or sub coconut sugar)

garlic

jalapeno (do not seed

salt, plus more to taste

black pepper

To garnish:

Fresh torn basil, cilantro and mint

honey peanuts

Red chile flakes

Make the dressing: add ingredients to a blender or food processor and blend/process until well combined. Dressing should be able to be drizzled but not too thick. If necessary add a teaspoon or two of water to thin the dressing. Set aside in the fridge until you are done and ready to put over the salad.

Add 1 tablespoon of butter to a large skillet and place over medium heat. Once butter is melted, add in the carrots and salt; stirring well to coat the carrots.

Cover the skillet and cook for 10-15 minutes, removing the cover and stirring occasionally to prevent carrots from burning. After 10-15 minutes, remove the cover, add in the garlic and cook uncovered, stirring occasionally for 10 more minutes or until carrots are fork tender.

Once carrots are tender, add in maple syrup or honey and cook for a few more minutes. Transfer carrots to a platter or pretty large shallow bowl and drizzle with a few tablespoons of dressing. Add torn basil, mint and cilantro on top and garnish with honey roasted peanuts or cashews and if you’d like, some red chili flakes. Serve warm, but honestly I also LOVE this salad cold and mixed with arugula and quinoa for leftovers.
