Sweet and savory glazed carrots infused with the warm spices of Moroccan tagine, topped with crunchy pistachios. A flavorful and colorful side dish.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Stir in the Moroccan tagine spice blend and cook for 30 seconds, allowing the spices to bloom.
Add the carrots to the skillet and toss to coat them evenly with the spiced oil.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a simmer. Cover the skillet and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the carrots are tender-crisp.
Remove the lid and increase the heat to medium-high. Add the honey (or maple syrup) and lemon juice. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the carrots are glazed and the sauce has thickened slightly, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Remove from heat and transfer the glazed carrots to a serving dish.
Sprinkle with chopped pistachios and fresh cilantro or parsley (if using).
Serve warm.
Nutrition per serving (175g)
For a richer flavor, use butter instead of olive oil.
Adjust the amount of honey/maple syrup and spice blend to your preference.
If the sauce becomes too thick, add a tablespoon or two of water to thin it out.
For a spicier dish, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the spice blend.
Other nuts can be used in place of pistachios, such as almonds or walnuts.
