Cumin-Roasted Carrots
These cumin-roasted carrots are seasoned with toasted coriander and cumin seeds, which lend a warm, aromatic spice to the naturally sweet and tender carrots. Baking them with coconut oil helps develop a crispy, caramelized exterior while keeping the insides soft. The dish is garnished with fresh cilantro, adding a bright herbal note that complements the earthy spices.

Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons coriander seeds
- 2 teaspoons cumin seeds
- 16 carrot 1 3/4 pounds, or about 6 cups) peeled and sliced into 1/2-inch-thick pieces, small
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil melted
- 1 1/2 tablespoon garlic diced
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- cilantro to garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F.
- Heat a small pan to medium-high heat (do not spray with cooking spray or oil). Add the coriander and cumin seeds, and toast, stirring constantly, until lightly golden and aromatic, about 1 minute. Keep an eye on them, as they burn quickly!
- Crush the toasted seeds and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the carrots, melted coconut oil, and garlic. Stir in the crushed seeds, and mix well until the carrots are evenly coated in oil.
- Transfer the carrots to a large baking pan, so that they are in one layer, with some space between them if possible. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Bake until golden brown and crispy, about 30-40 minutes, stirring halfway through the baking time.
- Garnish with cilantro and serve warm.
