Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams carrots
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and peel the carrots, then slice them into evenly-sized sticks or rounds, about ½ inch thick.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, ground cumin, ground cinnamon, ground coriander, smoked paprika, honey, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a spiced glaze.
Add the carrots to the bowl and toss them in the glaze until evenly coated.
Spread the carrots out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Roast the carrots in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
Remove the carrots from the oven and transfer them to a serving dish.
Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the roasted carrots and drizzle with lemon juice for a bright and fresh finish.
Serve warm as a flavorful side dish that pairs beautifully with chicken, fish, or grains.
