Ingredients

1 pound small whole carrots (or similar sized cut carrots)
1 tablespoon olive oil (more to drizzle as needed)
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
Fine sea salt (to taste)
Freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
2 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 teaspoon honey
Pinch of salt
1/4 cup pomegranate arils
1/4 cup chopped pecans
1/4 cup green onions (thinly sliced)
Fresh parsley or cilantro (finely chopped for garnish)

Steps:

Carrots: Preheat the oven to 425°F. Wash and peel carrots as needed, trimming any excess tops off. Roast the carrots whole, or if they are thick, chop them into equally sized pieces, around 3 inches. Drizzle with olive oil and toss with spices until coated. Spread evenly across a baking sheet. Cook for 7-10 minutes, toss, and cook for an additional 7-10 minutes until caramelized and tender. Cook time will vary depending on the thickness of your carrots.
Yogurt Sauce: while the carrots are cooking, in a small bowl combine yogurt, lemon juice, honey, and a pinch of salt, to taste. Spread on a serving platter or reserve to drizzle on top of the carrots.
Assembly: once the carrots are cooked, layer them on top of the yogurt or add them to a serving tray. Top with pomegranate, pecans, green onion, and parsley/cilantro. Drizzle with yogurt sauce if you didn't spread it on the tray.

CARROTS WITH CILANTRO

Carrots with Cilantro image

Here is an everyday carrot dish. In India it is served hot, but I often serve it cold in the summer, almost like a carrot salad.

Yield serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

2 tablespoons peanut or olive oil
1/8 teaspoon ground asafetida
1/4 teaspoon whole cumin seeds
1 pound carrots, peeled and cut into 1/3-inch-thick rounds
1 well-packed cup very finely chopped cilantro
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8-1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Steps:

Pour the oil into a medium frying pan and set over medium-high heat. When hot, put in the asafetida and cumin. Stir once or twice and toss in the carrots. Stir once and turn off the heat. Add all the remaining ingredients and 3 tablespoons water. Stir well and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cover, turn heat to very low, and simmer very gently for 3-4 minutes or until carrots are done, stirring once or twice during this period.

ROASTED CARROTS WITH CILANTRO YOGURT AND PEANUTS

Roasted Carrots With Cilantro Yogurt and Peanuts image

Carrot takes center stage in this easy-to-assemble side dish. Tangy Greek yogurt is combined with cilantro, coriander and lime juice to create a creamy bed for carrots that have been roasted until just caramelized. Salted peanuts finish the dish with a nice little crunch. If you can find rainbow carrots, this dish becomes even more vivid, but straightforward orange ones work just as nicely.

Time 35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds medium carrots, peeled and halved lengthwise (quartered lengthwise if large)
2 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 cup full-fat Greek yogurt
1/2 cup finely chopped cilantro
1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
1 tablespoon lime juice, (about 1/2 lime), plus more for serving (optional)
Pinch of Aleppo pepper or red-pepper flakes (optional)
Kosher salt
1/4 cup roughly chopped roasted, salted peanuts
3 tablespoons scallions, thinly sliced, green parts only
Flaky salt, for serving

Steps:

Heat oven to 400 degrees. Make the carrots: In a large bowl, toss the carrots with the olive oil. Season well with salt and pepper, add the dried coriander, and toss the mixture to evenly coat. Place the carrots cut-side down on a rimmed baking sheet and roast, flipping about halfway through, until the carrots are golden brown and tender, about 25 to 30 minutes. Allow to cool slightly.
While the carrots roast, make the cilantro yogurt: In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, cilantro, ground coriander, lime juice and Aleppo pepper or red-pepper flakes, if using. Stir well to combine and salt to taste.
Spread the cilantro yogurt on the bottom of a plate or platter and arrange roasted carrots on top. Scatter peanuts and scallions on top, and finish with flaky salt and a squeeze of lime juice, if using.
