    These Asian-Spiced Roasted Rainbow Carrots with a sweet and spicy sauce pop with color, are so flavorful, and roast beautifully in your oven. It's the perfect side dish for fall!

    Roasted rainbow carrots with green tops on placed on a white and beige oval plate garnished with sesame seeds on top of a wooden board.

    Looking forward to the fall harvest and feeling the love for these colorful rainbow carrots! Here's a beautiful side dish that screams "autumn" and pairs with everything!

    The sweet and spicy sauce is a combination of soy sauce, sambal oelek (red chili paste), maple syrup, sesame oil, and lime. Actually, this sauce can be used as a marinade for your protein also -- chicken, shrimp, fish -- endless possibilities!

    These gorgeous carrots came from Trader Joe's (my fave!) already bunched with color. Let's not forget the nutritional benefits of this crunchy power food like beautiful skin, cancer prevention, and anti-aging. Your mama was right when she said, "Eat your carrots -- they're good for your eyes!"
