Sweet-and-Sour Baby Carrots

This vibrant vegan side dish brings a sophisticated edge to the humble root vegetable. These sweet-and-sour baby carrots are roasted until tender-crisp, then finished with a sharp red-wine vinegar and sugar glaze that caramelises beautifully in the oven. The contrast between the natural earthiness of the carrots and the punchy, agrodolce style dressing makes this a versatile accompaniment to a variety of seasonal main courses.

Perfect for a Sunday roast or a quick midweek meal, these carrots are as visually appealing as they are delicious, thanks to their elegant trimmed green tops. Because this recipe uses simple shop-bought staples, it is an effortless way to elevate your vegetable repertoire while keeping the preparation time to a minimum. Serve them warm as a colourful addition to any plant-based feast.
