Best Berber Carrots Recipes
BERBERE-SPICED ROASTED CARROTS, CHICKPEAS AND ONIONS
This is one of my favorite sheet pan meals. The protein from the chickpeas makes it a complete meal, especially with a cooling dollop of Greek yogurt on the side. You could also use this as a side to roasted chicken or fish fillets or toss with hearty, leafy greens for a substantial fall or winter salad. Feel free to substitute other canned beans or vary the root vegetables (a few parsnips are really nice!) to suit your taste.

Steps:
- For the carrots and onions: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F with a rimmed baking sheet on the bottom rack. To cut the carrots, hold a carrot at a 45-degree angle on your cutting board and slice a 1-inch chunk off, rotate the carrot a quarter turn and slice off another chunk. Continue to the end of the carrot and cut all of the carrots this way. (This is a "roll" or "oblique cut," a good technique for cutting long vegetables to give lots of surface area for browning.) Toss the carrots in a large bowl with the onion, chickpeas, olive oil, berbere and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Spread on the preheated baking sheet and roast until the vegetables are tender and nicely caramelized, about 25 minutes.
- For the awaze sauce: While the carrots and onions roast, place the berbere in a small bowl. Stir in the red wine, honey and 1 teaspoon salt. The sauce should be thick but still able to drizzle. (This makes more awaze than you'll need for the recipe, but it keeps for up to a week in the fridge in an airtight container).
- Mound the carrots and onions on a serving platter and drizzle with a few tablespoons of awaze sauce. Serve warm.
- Combine all the spices in a small skillet. Toast over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Let cool completely. This spice blend will keep, tightly sealed, in your pantry for several months. For longer storage, keep in the freezer. Makes about 1/2 cup.
BERBERE ROASTED CARROTS & FENNEL WITH ORANGES
This side starts as something very familiar--roasted vegetables. But the berbere makes the sweet carrots and fennel taste earthier and the orange gives the dish a sprightly edge. Two little changes, but so much complexity. When you drive through Ethiopia, you will see women on the roadsides selling chiles, ginger, and garlic. Others sell spices--coriander, fenugreek, allspice, cardamom. These are some of the ingredients you need to make berbere, the spice mix that permeates every aspect of Ethiopian food. It is a deep red, the color of red clay. It's not a fiery mix. Cooked long and slow, berbere is earthy; added later, it can be lively and bright. When I discovered it, I couldn't wait to begin playing with it. I hope you will, too.

Steps:
- Heat the oil and 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the fennel and carrots and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat, then add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and cook until the vegetables soften and start to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the orange juice and berbere. Toss to combine and turn the heat to low. Add the orange segments and mint.
- Transfer the vegetables to a serving bowl and top additional berbere and mint leaves.
- Put the coriander seeds, fenugreek seeds, peppercorns, cardamom pods, cloves and allspice berries into a small skillet over medium heat. Toast, swirling the skillet, until fragrant, about 4 minutes. Pour the seeds into a spice grinder and cool. Add the onion flakes and chiles de arbol. Grind to a fine powder. Transfer the spice powder to a bowl and whisk in the paprika, salt, cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg. Store in a sealed jar, out of the light, for up to 6 months.

Steps:
- Make the berbere spice: In a sauté pan, toast the spices together over medium heat until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Grind all of the spices in a spice grinder until very fine and reserve.
- Make the carrots: Preheat the oven to 425º. In a large bowl, toss the baby carrots with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and season with salt. Transfer the carrots onto a foil-lined baking sheet and roast until the carrots have begun to caramelize, 10 to 12 minutes.
- In a large sauté pan, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the carrots and sauté until the carrots turn a deep-brown caramelized color, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the sunflower seeds and sauté until lightly toasted, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the berbere spice and dill, and stir until everything is thoroughly mixed. Cook until the berbere spice begins to toast and becomes fragrant. Transfer to a serving platter and serve.
