Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Carrots
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1.5 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Coriander leaves, chopped
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon White wine vinegar
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Peel the carrots and slice them diagonally into even-sized pieces about 1/2 inch thick.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, ground cumin, paprika, salt, black pepper, and honey until well combined.
Add the sliced carrots to the bowl and toss well to coat them evenly with the cumin-honey mixture.
Spread the carrots in a single layer on the prepared baking tray and roast them in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, turning them halfway through, until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
While the carrots are roasting, prepare the lemon coriander vinaigrette. In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, white wine vinegar, and chopped coriander leaves.
Once the carrots are done roasting, transfer them to a serving platter and drizzle the lemon coriander vinaigrette over the top.
Garnish with extra chopped coriander leaves if desired, and serve warm as a delightful side dish.
