Cilantro roasted carrots are a simple side dish. Slices of carrot are combined with cilantro and cumin and roasted in the oven until golden brown. This would be a lovely accompaniment to a standing rib roast or leg of lamb. Feel free to experiment with other spices including ground coriander or ground ginger and herbs.
Cilantro Roasted Carrots
Ingredients:
8 carrots
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon cumin
2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
If the carrots are really thick, cut them in half lengthwise; if not, leave as is. Slice the carrots diagonally in 1 1/2-inch-thick slices. (The carrots will shrink while cooking so make the slices big.) Place carrots on a sheet pan in 1 layer and toss them with the olive oil, cumin, salt, and pepper. Roast in the oven for 20 minutes, until browned and tender.
