Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons coriander seeds
  • 2 teaspoons cumin seeds
  • 16 small carrots (1 3/4 pounds, or about 6 cups) peeled and sliced into 1/2-inch-thick pieces
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil melted
  • 1 1/2 tablespoon garlic diced
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • cilantro to garnish

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F.
  2. 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!
  3. Crush the toasted seeds and set aside.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Bake until golden brown and crispy, about 30-40 minutes, stirring halfway through the baking time.
  7. Garnish with cilantro and serve warm.
