Ingredients

• 500 grams carrots
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 2 cloves garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Wash and peel the carrots. Cut them into sticks or rounds, about 1/4 inch thick for even cooking.

Step 2

Mince the garlic cloves and finely chop the fresh parsley. Set them aside for later use.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the cumin seeds to the hot oil and toast them for about 1 minute, stirring constantly, until they become fragrant.

Step 5

Add the carrots to the skillet and stir well to coat them in the cumin oil. Cook for 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the carrots are tender but still slightly crisp.

Step 6

Stir in the minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the garlic to become fragrant.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from the heat and drizzle the lemon juice over the carrots. Mix well to combine.

Step 8

Sprinkle the chopped parsley on top just before serving for a fresh and vibrant touch.

Step 9

Serve warm as a side dish with your favorite mains.
