Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g baby carrots
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 0.5 tsp ground cinnamon
- 0.5 tsp ground cumin
- 0.5 tsp smoked paprika
- 0.25 tsp ground coriander
- 1 tbsp honey
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, ground cinnamon, ground cumin, smoked paprika, ground coriander, honey, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to form a smooth, spiced mixture.
Add the baby carrots to the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated in the spice mixture.
Spread the coated carrots in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overcrowded to ensure even roasting.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the carrots for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized around the edges. Stir the carrots halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
Remove the carrots from the oven and transfer them to a serving dish.
If desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish to complement meats, grains, or other vegetables.
