  • Parsley for Garnish

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat your oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Place the sliced carrots in a large mixing bowl, and add a generous drizzle of extra virgin olive oil (about 2 tbsp or so.) Season with kosher salt and black pepper. Toss to combine.
  3. Transfer the carrots to a baking pan, making sure to spread them well in one single layer.
  4. Roast in the heated oven for 20 to 30 minutes or until tender and slightly caramelized. Check part-way through and turn carrots over to get even color on both sides.)
  5. Remove from oven. Transfer the roasted carrots to a serving bowl. Here, you can add flavor to your liking. To follow the recipe, season with turmeric and harissa spice blend. If you like, add a little minced garlic and a splash of lime juice. Toss to combine. Garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

  • Falvor Variations: Once carrots are roasted, you can play with flavors as you like. I like savory warm flavors with roasted carrots, that's why I  used turmeric and harissa. I have also used a combination of cumin and coriander with a little oregano. And if you're in the mood for something on the sweet side, add a dash of cinnamon with nutmeg and a drizzle of warm honey to your roasted carrots.
