Notes

Feel free to adjust the level of spiciness by modifying the amount of sriracha used. If you want to avoid heat altogether, you can omit it or replace it with chili flakes. Leftover Spicy Maple Carrots can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven to maintain texture. The yogurt sauce can be prepared in advance and stored in the fridge for up to 5 days; just stir before use as separation may occur. For a vegan option, substitute the yogurt with a plant-based alternative like coconut yogurt.
