Baked crunchy burst Raspberry Balsamic Glazed Carrots caramelised in maple syrup, and toasted sesame seeds.
Gasp for delight as you tuck into something crunchy.
This dish will burst your belief that vegan food can’t be nourishing and simple to make.
Make this:
- When you’ve got a dinner party and need a side dish that dazzles
- When you’ve plucked carrots from your local supermarket and fancy a little treat that’s easy to rustle up
- When you’ve just harvested some raspberries and a wholesome dish that will satiate your appetite is needed
Raspberry Balsamic Glazed Carrots is my go-to recipe for entertaining guests. It looks colourful and oozes with taste. The caramelised carrots meld with the sweet yet sharp taste of the raspberries.
This dish was inspired when I’d been working on a meal plan for a dinner party and needed a quick and easy dish that hypnotised my guests.
This recipe is vegan and paleo.
