Spiced Garlic Carrots image

This classic Moroccan side dish is served as often as possible, hot or as a cold salad, in most Sephardic Jewish homes. The natural sweetness of the carrots tempers the garlic and balances the sizzle of the pepper flakes. -David Feder, Buffalo Grove, Illinois

I followed the recipe exactly but the carrots came out too soft. I think I would reduce the cooking time next time.

I've made this dish several times now and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The carrots are tender and flavorful, and the spices give them a really nice depth of flavor. I usually serve them as a side dish, but they're also great as a snack or appetizer.

These spiced garlic carrots were a hit! They were easy to make and had a delicious sweet and savory flavor. I added a little bit of extra chili powder for a bit of a kick. Will definitely be making these again!
