Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 bunch carrots (organic, if available), tops trimmed leaving a little stem for presentation
Olive oil, for drizzling
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 teaspoon ground cumin
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon butter, cut into cubes
1 teaspoon honey
Chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F, or a grill to high (if you are outside, prepare a campfire). Cut any large carrots in half lengthwise and crosswise.
  • Drizzle a large sheet of foil with some oil. Arrange the carrots in a flat, single layer over half the sheet of foil. Drizzle the carrots with more oil and sprinkle with the garlic, cumin and salt and pepper. Top the carrots with the butter and drizzle with the honey. Fold the foil in half over the carrots and fold the edges to seal and form a pouch. To avoid crowding the carrots, make two pouches if necessary.
  • Cook the pouch in the oven or on a grill or campfire for 15 minutes. To serve, cut open the pouch tableside and finish with a sprinkle of parsley.

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 15

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)

1/4 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.

Grilled Carrots with Cumin-Serrano Yogurt image

Carrots love to burn when grilled over direct high heat; better to park them over a cooler spot on the grate and keep the cover closed if possible.

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

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

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.

ROASTED CARROTS WITH TURMERIC AND CUMIN



Roasted Carrots With Turmeric and Cumin image

These are based on Suzanne Goin's turmeric-spiced root vegetables from her wonderful new book "The A.O.C. Cookbook." I use her technique for roasting the carrots, and use the same spices she uses, but I make the dish with a little less olive oil and butter. Suzanne serves her mix of carrots, turnips, parsnips and rutabagas with Greek yogurt seasoned with makrut lime juice and zest, and mint chutney. They are also delicious on their own.

Time 40m

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

10 medium carrots, peeled
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds, lightly toasted
1/2 teaspoon coriander seeds, lightly toasted
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon Aleppo pepper or mild chili powder
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Cut the carrots in half lengthwise and crosswise. If the carrots are fat at one end, cut the fat half in half again lengthwise, so that the pieces are more or less equal in thickness. Place in a large bowl and toss with the olive oil, salt and pepper, and thyme leaves.
  • Heat a heavy baking sheet in the oven for 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the oven and place the carrots on it in one layer. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring the carrots every 10 minutes. They should be slightly caramelized and tender.
  • While the carrots are in the oven place the cumin and coriander seeds in a mortar and pestle and grind. Add the soft butter, turmeric and Aleppo pepper or chili powder and stir with the pestle until well amalgamated. Transfer to a large pan.
  • Remove the carrots from the oven when done and add to the pan with the spice butter and the mint. Toss together, taste and adjust salt and pepper. Serve from the pan or transfer to a platter.
