ROASTED CARROTS WITH CILANTRO YOGURT AND PEANUTS



Roasted Carrots With Cilantro Yogurt and Peanuts image

Carrot takes center stage in this easy-to-assemble side dish. Tangy Greek yogurt is combined with cilantro, coriander and lime juice to create a creamy bed for carrots that have been roasted until just caramelized. Salted peanuts finish the dish with a nice little crunch. If you can find rainbow carrots, this dish becomes even more vivid, but straightforward orange ones work just as nicely.

Categories     vegetables, side dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 pounds medium carrots, peeled and halved lengthwise (quartered lengthwise if large)
2 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 cup full-fat Greek yogurt
1/2 cup finely chopped cilantro
1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
1 tablespoon lime juice, (about 1/2 lime), plus more for serving (optional)
Pinch of Aleppo pepper or red-pepper flakes (optional)
Kosher salt
1/4 cup roughly chopped roasted, salted peanuts
3 tablespoons scallions, thinly sliced, green parts only
Flaky salt, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. Make the carrots: In a large bowl, toss the carrots with the olive oil. Season well with salt and pepper, add the dried coriander, and toss the mixture to evenly coat. Place the carrots cut-side down on a rimmed baking sheet and roast, flipping about halfway through, until the carrots are golden brown and tender, about 25 to 30 minutes. Allow to cool slightly.
  • While the carrots roast, make the cilantro yogurt: In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, cilantro, ground coriander, lime juice and Aleppo pepper or red-pepper flakes, if using. Stir well to combine and salt to taste.
  • Spread the cilantro yogurt on the bottom of a plate or platter and arrange roasted carrots on top. Scatter peanuts and scallions on top, and finish with flaky salt and a squeeze of lime juice, if using.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, tender carrots: Look for carrots that are smooth, firm, and have a deep orange color. Avoid carrots that are limp, wrinkled, or have blemishes.
  • Cut the carrots evenly: This will help them cook evenly. If you are using baby carrots, you can leave them whole.
  • Don't overcook the carrots: They should be tender but still slightly crunchy. Overcooked carrots will become mushy and lose their flavor.
  • Use fresh herbs and spices: Cilantro, ginger, and garlic are all great additions to this dish. You can also add other spices, such as cumin, coriander, or turmeric, to taste.
  • Serve the carrots immediately: They are best when they are hot and fresh from the pan.

Conclusion:

Cilantro ginger carrots are a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed as part of any meal. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With their vibrant color and zesty flavor, these carrots are sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
