I absolutely love dried figs and dates. I think they are better than any dessert you can offer me. Like little spoons of candy…
Roasting the carrots brings out the sugar and caramelizes them. The cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger make the carrots taste like spiced apple pie.
This is so amazing your taste buds won’t even realize that it is a healthy vegetable dish. And I guarantee you, it’ll totally satisfy your sweet tooth and any sugar cravings.
