Sweet & Spicy Roasted Carrots

Vegan, gluten free, grain free. Roasted carrots are satisfying, nutritious and SO easy to make. I love adding these to a salad, a serving of plain Greek yogurt or as a unique side to chicken or fish. Leftovers keep well for up to 4 days in the fridge. Just reheat and serve.
