Coriander and cumin spiced baby carrots are a delightful and healthy side dish that combines the earthy and aromatic flavors of coriander and cumin with the slight sweetness of baby carrots. This easy-to-make recipe is perfect for adding a touch of spice to your meal while enjoying the health benefits of carrots. Let's dive into this simple yet flavorful dish.

Ingredients:

1 tbsp fresh parsley
5g
2 tsp coriander leaves
6g
1 tsp ground cumin
3g
1 tsp olive oil
4.50g
1 tbsp vinegar
16g
1 tbsp orange juice
16g
4 cups carrots
480g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Carrots:
Wash and peel the baby carrots. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel to ensure they roast well.
3. Mix the Spices and Seasoning:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped fresh parsley, coriander leaves, ground cumin, olive oil, vinegar, and orange juice. Stir well to create a uniform mixture.
4. Toss Carrots in the Mixture:
Add the baby carrots to the bowl with the spice and seasoning mixture. Toss the carrots thoroughly, ensuring each one is well-coated with the mixture.
5. Arrange Carrots for Roasting:
Spread the coated baby carrots evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased with olive oil.
6. Roast the Carrots:
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Roast the carrots for 20-25 minutes or until they are tender and slightly caramelized, stirring halfway through the roasting time to ensure even cooking.
7. Serve:
Once the carrots are done, remove them from the oven. Allow them to cool slightly before serving.
8. Garnish and Enjoy:
If desired, garnish with a bit more parsley or coriander. Serve the coriander and cumin-spiced baby carrots warm as a delightful side dish.

Tips:

- For an extra burst of flavor, try roasting the carrots in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes instead of steaming or boiling them.

- Feel free to adjust the amount of spices according to your personal taste preferences.

- If you prefer a bit of heat, add a pinch of chili flakes or cayenne pepper to the spice mix.

- Garnish the dish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley or coriander leaves for a fresh and vibrant finish.

- Serve these spiced baby carrots with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for added zest and brightness.
