Curry Roasted Carrots
Description
This simple recipe prepares carrots by slicing them into thin, diagonal pieces and coating them with olive oil, curry powder (hot or mild), and salt to impart warm, aromatic spice. Roasting the carrots at 400 degrees Fahrenheit allows them to soften while developing edges that are slightly crisp and caramelized from the natural sugars.
The curry powder lends an earthy, mildly spicy character that complements the carrot’s sweetness. Finishing the dish with freshly chopped cilantro adds an herbaceous, fresh note to balance the roasted depth. Stirring halfway through cooking ensures even roasting without steaming.
These curry roasted carrots work well as a side dish to a variety of mains, bringing color and flavor to the plate. Their straightforward preparation makes them a reliable choice for enhancing simple meals without requiring complex ingredients or techniques.
Ingredients
- 1 lb. carrot $1.09
- 1 Tbsp olive oil $0.16
- 1/2 Tbsp curry powder $0.15, hot or mild
- 1/4 tsp salt $0.02
- cilantro $0.20, fresh, handful, optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with foil. Peel the carrots and cut off the rough ends. Slice the carrots on a diagonal, into 1/4" thick slices.
- Place the carrot slices in a bowl, drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle the curry powder and salt. Toss the carrots until they're evenly coated in oil and spices.
- Spread the carrots out over the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Make sure they're not piled on top of one another. Roast in the oven for 30 minutes, stirring once half way through. Serve warm with a handful of freshly chopped cilantro over top.
