Date Syrup Roasted Carrots
Simple side dishes are my favorite way to elevate weeknight dinners. Since I always have a bag of carrots sitting around, these date syrup roasted carrots came together in just minutes and were so delicious served with my Paprika Chicken and Potatoes.
The carrots are sliced then tossed in olive oil, date syrup and a simple spice blend. They’re roasted until tender and served with an extra drizzle of date syrup, for good measure.
