Thanks for popping in for Meatless Monday today. Ever feel like you eat the same meals and sides over and over again? Yep I hear you. Even though, I create and post delicious and healthy recipes each week, I still feel like I can get into a rut with my own vegetable sides. Looking to spice things up? Carrots go from simple to Zesty Chili Lime Roasted Carrots in no time flat. Trust me, you absolutely have to try them.
Zesty Chili Lime Roasted Carrots
Carrots are one of those veggies that I often snack on raw but kind of forget about roasting. I do believe that almost every vegetable tastes better roasted. That definitely applies to carrots. They can go from ho hum to OMG delish with just a few creative spices. That’s exactly what I did here on the fly with these Zesty Chili Lime Roasted Carrots.
After you peel your carrots and place them on a roasting pan, add a drizzle of olive oil and a squeeze of some fresh lime juice. Most veggies taste better with some acid from either lime or lemon. I mixed up a zesty spice blend with common pantry staples. Pepper, chili powder, cumin, salt, coriander and garlic powder. Sprinkle on top and coat all sides.
Pop those trays in the oven and in about 25 minutes you have a side dish to enjoy. Super simple and a great way to elevate a weeknight meal. They are just fine or their own or drizzle a little of my homemade Tahini Dressing found here on top.
Healthy, easy and delicious. These Zesty Chili Lime Roasted Carrots are gluten free, dairy free, sugar free and vegan. Let me know if you give them a try!

A zesty flavorful weeknight side that will become a go to crowd favorite. Ready to go into the oven in just 5 minutes

You know I love spicy so I will have to try these! The only bad thing about your Meatless Monday posts is I want to make the dish but we already meal planned and grocery shopped for the week haha
ha ha well I guess you can print out for next week? I try to use a lot of pantry staples so people can make them on the fly
What a great idea! We are all about roasted veggies this time of year. Love the added spice.
I can’t get enough of them right now
Oh I really need to try this. It sounds delicious. I always like carrots cooked vs. raw so this should be right up my alley. Thanks for the idea.
Fantastic hope you enjoy
I’m not a fan of raw carrots, but roasting them definitely ups their appeal. Gonna try this tonight!
Fantastic! I like all veggies better roasted
Yes, every vegetable DOES taste better roasted. The problem with roasted vegetables is, somehow half of them end up inside my stomach on the way from the oven into the serving dish. I don’t know how that keeps happening…? It’s a big problem.
Seriously, roasted veggies are like ice cream to me and I have NO restraint!!! 🙂
ha ha there could be worse problems! 🙂
I hate that I’m allergic to carrots because these look so good!
so wow I have never heard of anyone allergic to carrots!? I bet you could do asparagus or cauliflower too those are next on my list
Oh I love the sound of these! Especially because they have cumin which I’m loving so much lately. Thank you for spicing up one of my families favorite veggies.
Hope you all enjoy them
What a great idea. Like you, I nibble on carrots frequently as a snack but have never ever thought of roasting them. Thanks for the suggestion and the easy recipe. I’ll be adding them to my dinner tonight. Cheers.
Thanks! I think they are even better roasted hope you enjoyed
I have carrots sitting in my fridge wondering if I’m ever going to eat them. My husband will enjoy the chili lime flavor for sure.
It’s a nice way to mix it up
What a great way to mix up side dishes. I love the spices on these carrots. SO good!
Thanks so much Julie hope you all give them a try
Love the seasoning for these carrots, and I definitely love the presentation! These are lovely and they sound delicious, too!!
Thanks so much hope you give them a try sometime
I agree that SO many vegetables taste better roasted. I especially love the roasted recipes with LOTS of flavor like this! I will have to try!!
Thanks Leslie! Enjoy
These look delicious! I love how you’ve explained it and the pictures are fantastic!
Thanks so much 🙂
I can’t wait to try this one, Deborah. So far I’m 100% with loving all of your recipes I’ve tried. Roasted asparagus is my go-to side, and fortunately, we haven’t grown tired of it…
Thanks I do get bored with my sides as well and I am always looking for new ways to prepare veggies
