Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/2 pounds rainbow carrots, peeled and trimmed, 1 cup tender tops washed, dried and reserved for garnish
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon minced peeled fresh ginger
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon ground coffee
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 lime, zested and juiced
Herbed Yogurt Dressing
1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
1 cup plain Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons minced chives
2 tablespoons minced dill
Pinch of kosher salt
Dash hot sauce

Steps:

  • Combine the carrots, 3 tablespoons of the olive oil, ginger, salt, coffee and coriander in a large bowl and toss to coat the carrots thoroughly. Spread in a single layer on an aluminum foil-lined baking sheet, being sure not to crowd them.
  • Roast until the carrots are tender and browned around the edges, about 25 minutes, tossing halfway through. Remove from the oven and cool slightly on the baking sheet.
  • Whisk together the lime zest and juice and the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large bowl. Add the carrots and toss to coat with the dressing.
  • Spread the Herbed Yogurt Dressing onto the base of a serving platter. Arrange the carrots on top of the yogurt and sprinkle with the almonds and tender carrot tops. Serve immediately.
  • Combine the yogurt, chives, dill, salt and hot sauce in a bowl and mix well. Cover and refrigerate until you're ready to serve. Makes 1 cup.
