Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large carrots
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon chili flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
Peel the carrots and slice them into thin, evenly sized coins, approximately 1/4-inch thick.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the carrot slices. Sauté for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the carrots are tender but still slightly crisp.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, smoked paprika, cumin, chili flakes, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the spice mixture over the sautéed carrots and continue to cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring constantly to evenly coat the carrots.
Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the spicy carrot coins to a serving dish.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm.
