Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium carrots
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Peel the carrots and cut them into thick slices, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and add the carrot slices. Cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the carrots are fork-tender but not mushy. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
While the carrots are cooking, prepare the yogurt dressing. In a small bowl, stir together the plain Greek yogurt, lemon juice, finely minced garlic, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Once the carrots are slightly cooled, transfer them to a serving dish. Drizzle the olive oil over the carrots and gently toss to coat.
Spoon the yogurt mixture over the carrots, spreading it lightly with the back of a spoon.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and an additional drizzle of olive oil, if desired.
Serve immediately as a side dish or chilled as an appetizer. Enjoy!
