Ingredients
- 6–8 large carrots, peeled and cut into batons or thick slices
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- ¼ tsp cinnamon
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, coriander, or mint for garnish
- Optional: lemon zest, toasted nuts, or a dollop of yogurt
Instructions
Heat your oven to 220°C (425°F). Peel and slice the carrots evenly so they cook at the same rate. A uniform size helps achieve crisp edges without burning.
Place the carrots in a mixing bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Add cumin, coriander, paprika, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Toss until every piece is fully coated with the warm spice mixture.
Spread the carrots out in a single layer on a baking tray. Roast for 20–25 minutes, turning once halfway through. The high temperature helps the carrots caramelise and develop a crisp exterior.
Remove the carrots from the oven and finish with chopped herbs or a squeeze of lemon for brightness. You can also top with yogurt or toasted nuts for extra texture.
