Carrots make a super side—big on flavor and a breeze to cook. Plus, I can actually get my husband to eat these fragrant, deeply spiced veggies. —Taylor Kiser, Brandon, Florida

Cumin-Roasted Carrots Recipe photo by Taste of Home

Ingredients

2 tablespoons coriander seeds
2 tablespoons cumin seeds
3 pounds carrots, peeled and cut into 4x1/2-inch sticks
3 tablespoons coconut oil or butter, melted
8 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
Minced fresh cilantro, optional

Directions

Preheat oven to 400°. In a dry small skillet, toast coriander and cumin seeds over medium heat 45-60 seconds or until aromatic, stirring frequently. Cool slightly. Grind in a spice grinder, or with a mortar and pestle, until finely crushed.
Place carrots in a large bowl. Add melted coconut oil, garlic, salt, pepper and crushed spices, and toss to coat. Divide carrots between two 15x10x1-in. baking pans coated with cooking spray, spreading evenly.
Roast 35-40 minutes or until crisp-tender and lightly browned, stirring and rotating pans halfway. Before serving, sprinkle with cilantro if desired.

Health Tip: The fat in coconut oil will give these carrots a subtle coconut flavor. While this oil includes medium-chain triglycerides, their health benefits are still unproven, and coconut oil probably won’t help you shed pounds.

Editor's Note: Two tablespoons each ground coriander and ground cumin may be substituted for whole spices. Before using, toast ground spices in a dry skillet until aromatic, stirring frequently.
