This classic Moroccan side dish is served as often as possible, hot or as a cold salad, in most Sephardic Jewish homes. The natural sweetness of the carrots tempers the garlic and balances the sizzle of the pepper flakes. -David Feder, Buffalo Grove, Illinois

ROASTED CARROTS WITH YAJI SPICE RELISH
A fragrant combination of dried spices and aromatics, yaji, also known as suya spice, is as ubiquitous as salt and pepper in homes across Northern Nigeria and West Africa more broadly. Often used to cure meats and finish other dishes, the spice blend is made depending on taste and access to ingredients, so the recipe can range from home to home and vendor to vendor. Common among blends is the addition of a warming chile powder, ground ginger (although fresh is used in some cases) and pulverized peanuts. Here, a basic yaji spice blend is incorporated into a fresh, piquant relish of scallions, lemon zest and juice as a finish to liven up roast vegetables.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 400 degrees. Toss the carrots with 2 tablespoons oil, and season lightly with salt. Spread in an even layer on 2 baking sheets and roast until vegetables are tender and caramelized in spots, about 40 minutes, rotating sheet pans once halfway through the cooking process.
- As the carrots roast, make the relish: Grate the ginger into a large bowl and add the sliced scallions. Zest 1 lemon over the bowl, and squeeze in the juice from 1½ lemons. (Reserve the other half for serving.) Stir to combine. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Stir in the roasted peanut oil (if using), the yaji spice, paprika and parsley. Stir to combine,then taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
- While the vegetables are still warm, gently toss in the large bowl to coat with the relish. Transfer to a platter, and scatter the toasted peanuts over the top. Serve with reserved lemon half, if you like.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, young carrots for the best flavor and texture.
- Peel the carrots thinly to avoid wasting any of the vegetable.
- Use a sharp knife to slice the carrots into even pieces so they cook evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the carrots. They should be in a single layer so they can brown properly.
- Season the carrots with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add a little bit of sugar to the verjuice sauce to balance out the acidity.
- Serve the carrots as a side dish or as part of a main course.
