Ingredients
- 500 g baby carrots
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 0.5 tsp ground cinnamon
- 0.5 tsp ground cumin
- 0.5 tsp smoked paprika
- 0.25 tsp ground coriander
- 1 tbsp honey
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, ground cinnamon, ground cumin, smoked paprika, ground coriander, honey, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to form a smooth, spiced mixture.
Step 3
Add the baby carrots to the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated in the spice mixture.
Step 4
Spread the coated carrots in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overcrowded to ensure even roasting.
Step 5
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the carrots for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized around the edges. Stir the carrots halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
Step 6
Remove the carrots from the oven and transfer them to a serving dish.
Step 7
If desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness before serving.
Step 8
Serve warm as a side dish to complement meats, grains, or other vegetables.
