These rainbow carrots are not your average roasted carrots – just ask my three year old. They are tossed in a lemon olive oil and Moroccan spices to make a flavorful addition to your dinner tonight!

The sweetness of roasted carrots and flavors of Moroccan spices make this an incredible side dish

I am a little sad Cinco de Mayo is over (ya ya I know it was 6 days ago). I mean if you follow me on Instagram then sorry I was blowing it up with all things Mexican. But now onto a different kind of cuisine. Let’s talk Moroccan food.

But before we talk about the food. Do you ever have those words that for some reason you always misspell? Growing up I always messed up license. And with these carrots I have found I want to suddenly put two R’s in Moroccan. No bueno! Oh sorry still have Mexican on the brain.

Toss these rainbow carrots in spices like cumin, coriander, cinnamon and lemon olive oil

When John and I first lived up in Indy there was this incredible Moroccan restaurant down the street from our house. And it was everything you saw in pictures from the jewel toned plates and linens to this aroma full of endless spices. That was where I also decided I wanted to get a tagine – the other word I kept wanting to misspell.

Just thinking of those smells takes me back to Chelsea Market at the Spice and Tease store. So I thought I’d recreate a little Indiana/Moroccan flavor at our house. I mean I need to get my kids to eat some more carrots other than just doing my sweet glazed carrots. Even though they did eat these Garlic Butter Roasted Carrots earlier this week….What can I say? I know it’s one vegetable I can count on.

Not your average roasted carrot side dish these rainbow carrots are full of flavor

One thing I did learn about cooking with rainbow carrots is that the purple ones tend to brown after baking – but that does not mean they are burnt. I had to reassure my family of that when eating. Ha!
