Follow The Directions

01

Step

5 mins

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). (5 minutes)

02

Step

5 mins

If desired, peel the carrots. Otherwise, simply scrub them well. On a large baking sheet, arrange the carrots in a single layer. (5 minutes)

03

Step

2 mins

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, orange juice, and toasted cumin seeds. (2 minutes)

04

Step

3 mins

Drizzle the mixture evenly over the carrots, ensuring they are well coated. Season generously with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. (3 minutes)

05

Step

40 mins

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-45 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and slightly caramelized, flipping halfway through for even cooking. (40 minutes)

06

Step

Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro, if desired. Serve immediately.

Toasting the cumin seeds before adding them to the carrots enhances their aroma and flavor.
For extra sweetness, add a drizzle of maple syrup or agave nectar during the last 10 minutes of baking.
If you don't have parchment paper, you can roast the carrots directly on the baking sheet. Just be sure to toss them halfway through to prevent sticking.
Feel free to experiment with other spices, such as coriander, smoked paprika, or chili powder, to customize the flavor profile.
