The fix

Pin it

Tap a step to check it off.

  1. 1 toss with lemon juice and olive oil
  2. 2 add a pinch of cumin or chili flakes
  3. 3 finish with salt to balance

If it's still wrong

  • serve with a tangy yogurt sauce
  • mix with bitter greens

Prevent next time

  • roast at a slightly lower temperature
  • add acid at the end

Notes

Why this works

Acid and spice counteract sweetness and add depth. A small seasoning shift makes the carrots taste more savory.
