How cute are these little rainbow carrots? You guys know I love a warm veggie salad… these carrots are packed with flavour from chipotle chilli flakes, chilli powder, smoked paprika, cumin, brown sugar, garlic granules and dried oregano… a heavenly combo of smokey and spicy flavours roasted until crispy and delicious.

I served the carrots on top of some frisée lettuce, pearled spelt, and some soft vegan cheese and added a herby-type drizzle made from parsley, garlic, lemon and olive oil for some freshness to balance out the spice of the carrots… so delicious!
