Cumin Roasted Carrot

7/27/2022

Not only does cumin add a spicy flair to dishes, but it’s also known for its healing properties. In traditional medicine, cumin is used to treat digestive problems, diabetes, and a wide variety of ailments.
Modern research shows that cumin may contain compounds that help with insulin control, improved cholesterol, healthier digestion, and even memory loss. Cumin is loaded with antioxidants and a good calcium and magnesium source.
Cumin is also one of the few foods that’s naturally rich in iron … and is considered a good source of iron even when used just as a seasoning!

Try this spicy-sweet roasted carrots recipe with cumin. It can be made in the oven OR on the grill – which means it’s a great side dish for a BBQ. 
The cumin seeds give a pop of just-right spice. If you’re grilling, seal the prepped carrots in foil and roast until tender.
Picture
​(makes 4 servings)
  • 4 large carrots, sliced into ¼-inch (½ cm) rounds
  • 3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 Tbsp orange juice
  • 1½ tsp cumin seed
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • ground black pepper, to taste
  • Pinch of cayenne

Preheat the oven to 450ºF/230ºC.

Slice the carrots. In a medium bowl, mix together the rest of the ingredients. Add the carrots and mix well.

Spread out the carrots in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet.

Roast for 20 mins and then remove from the oven to flip the carrots over to ensure even cooking. Roast for another 10-12 minutes, until browned.

Try not to eat them all at once :)
