Sweet carrots, a touch of honey, bright scallions, and toasted sesame seeds come together in a tray that smells incredible the moment it hits the oven. The Chinese Five Spice Infused Olive Oil Blend brings star anise, cinnamon, and clove notes that bloom over the carrots as they roast, turning a simple side into a bold, aromatic dish that works beautifully for weeknight dinner, holiday table, or entertaining.
Recipe Tips
- Cut the carrots into even pieces so they roast at the same pace.
- Give the pan enough space so the carrots caramelize instead of steaming.
- Toss the scallions and sesame seeds on at the end for the freshest flavor and texture.
Serving Suggestions
- Serve these carrots alongside roast chicken, pork tenderloin, or salmon.
- Add them to a grain bowl with rice, herbs, and a squeeze of lime.
- They also fit nicely on a holiday table with other roasted vegetables.
Storage
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Rewarm gently in the oven or a skillet so the edges stay lively.
Variations
- Swap honey for maple syrup for a deeper sweet note.
- Add a pinch of crushed red pepper for gentle heat.
- Finish with chopped cilantro instead of scallions for a brighter herb finish.
