Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Carrots
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Cumin seeds
- 1 tsp Caraway seeds
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tbsp Lime juice
- 2 tbsp Fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 1 tsp Lime zest
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Rinse and peel the carrots. If the carrots are thick, slice them in half lengthwise; if they are thin, leave them whole.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the carrots, olive oil, cumin seeds, caraway seeds, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the carrots are evenly coated.
Spread the carrots in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced out for even roasting.
Roast the carrots in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they become tender and slightly caramelized at the edges. Turn them halfway through cooking for even browning.
Once the carrots are roasted, transfer them to a serving platter.
Drizzle the lime juice over the carrots and sprinkle with fresh cilantro and lime zest.
Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy at room temperature. These carrots pair beautifully with grilled proteins or hearty grain dishes.
