Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams baby carrots
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with oil.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, ground cumin, ground coriander, ground cinnamon, paprika, honey, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to create a spiced marinade.
Add the baby carrots to the bowl with the marinade. Toss thoroughly to ensure the carrots are evenly coated with the spice mixture.
Spread the coated baby carrots in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Roast the carrots in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized, stirring once halfway through cooking for even roasting.
Remove the carrots from the oven and drizzle them with fresh lemon juice.
Transfer the roasted carrots to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve warm as a flavorful side dish for any meal.
