This warm, spiced version gets me every time. The carrots are roasted with cumin, lemon, garlic, and cilantro.

I love how the cumin gives off a powerful fragrant taste while the lemon and cilantro make it fresh.

See how easy it is ...

Roasted Carrots With Cumin
  • 3 pounds carrots
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • Half a lemon, juiced
Peel and cut carrots into sticks about 1/2 inch thick. Toss in olive oil, cumin, salt, pepper, cilantro, garlic, and lemon. Mix well and spread out on a baking sheet. Roast at 400 degrees 25 minutes or until carrots are tender. Serve it hot or cold.

Tune in tomorrow to see what we do with the leftover carrots.
