Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (204 degrees C)
- Place your peeled whole baby carrots on the baking sheet (note that the diameter of my carrots were only about 1/2 inch or less so if you have large carrots then cut them in 1/2 or even 1/4 them lengthwise so that they cook faster for you) You can also use the pre cut and peeled baby carrots that are ready to eat at your grocery store. (You may have to adjust your cooking depending on how large in diameter your carrots are)
- Add the coconut oil, cumin, ginger, salt and pepper on to your carrots and toss and rub carrots to make sure that you have all of your seasoning evenly distributed.
- Add three whole garlic cloves on the baking sheet unpeeled ( or if you do not have fresh garlic then just add a sprinkle of garlic powder on your carrot before baking in the oven.
- Roast your carrots uncovered for about 20 minutes or until fork tender. If your carrots are larger in diameter then you may have to roast for longer until fork tender.
- Squeeze the soft caramelized garlic out of the peeling and toss gently in the roasted carrots. Garnish with a little chopped cilantro and enjoy.

ROASTED CARROTS WITH TURMERIC AND CUMIN
These are based on Suzanne Goin's turmeric-spiced root vegetables from her wonderful new book "The A.O.C. Cookbook." I use her technique for roasting the carrots, and use the same spices she uses, but I make the dish with a little less olive oil and butter. Suzanne serves her mix of carrots, turnips, parsnips and rutabagas with Greek yogurt seasoned with makrut lime juice and zest, and mint chutney. They are also delicious on their own.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Cut the carrots in half lengthwise and crosswise. If the carrots are fat at one end, cut the fat half in half again lengthwise, so that the pieces are more or less equal in thickness. Place in a large bowl and toss with the olive oil, salt and pepper, and thyme leaves.
- Heat a heavy baking sheet in the oven for 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the oven and place the carrots on it in one layer. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring the carrots every 10 minutes. They should be slightly caramelized and tender.
- While the carrots are in the oven place the cumin and coriander seeds in a mortar and pestle and grind. Add the soft butter, turmeric and Aleppo pepper or chili powder and stir with the pestle until well amalgamated. Transfer to a large pan.
- Remove the carrots from the oven when done and add to the pan with the spice butter and the mint. Toss together, taste and adjust salt and pepper. Serve from the pan or transfer to a platter.

The flavorings dress up an "ordinary" vegetable, and put some real zip in any meal! This is an easy, quick dish to make, and it adds a splash of color to your table.

Tips:
- Choose the right carrots: For the best flavor, use fresh, young carrots. Avoid carrots that are too thick or have blemishes.
- Cut the carrots evenly: This will help them cook evenly. If the carrots are different sizes, cut them into similar-sized pieces.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the carrots, make sure there is enough space between them so that they can brown properly.
- Season the carrots well: Ginger, cumin, and coriander are all classic Indian spices that pair well with carrots. Be sure to season the carrots generously with these spices.
- Cook the carrots until they are tender: The carrots should be cooked until they are tender but still have a slight crunch. Overcooking the carrots will make them mushy.
