Moroccan Spiced Roasted Carrots Recipe
The Moorish influence in southern Spanish cuisine can still be found today. One of the most popular dishes is zanahorias asadas Morunos. These roasted carrots are tangy, sweet and spicy and deliciously caramelized. They are a perfect tapa pairing with pinchos Morunos, a side for humble roast chicken or with whatever you are serving up!
