MOROCCAN SALAD OF RAW GRATED CARROTS/CITRUS CINNAMON DRESSING
Recipe comes from Mediterranean Fresh by Joyce Goldstein. Her directions are confusing about the cooking of the carrots. What she exactly writes is "For carrots with a bit more body and texture, you need to cook them briefly, as they are not porous enough to absorb the flavors of a salad dressing. For optimum flavor, dress carrots while they are still warm. You may warm the grated carrots in the dressing or serve as is." I am thinking (big thinker here) maybe 2 minutes? I also think buying those already grated carrots would be mighty handy. Use only 1/4 cup of the dressing, and use the remainder of the dressing for a beet, orange, and greens salad.

Steps:
- Grate the carrots on the large holes of a box grater.
- Cook carrots for 2 minutes--optional step.
- Toss with only 1/4 cup of the dressing,.
- Garnish with nuts, raisins, and pine nuts if desired, and serve.
Tips:
- Choose the right carrots: For the best flavor and texture, choose fresh, young carrots. Avoid carrots that are limp or have blemishes.
- Peel the carrots: Peeling the carrots will help them cook evenly and will also remove any dirt or debris.
- Cut the carrots into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly. You can cut the carrots into slices, chunks, or even baby carrots.
- Use a large skillet or roasting pan: This will give the carrots plenty of room to cook evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the carrots will steam instead of roast.
- Roast the carrots at a high temperature: This will help them caramelize and develop a delicious flavor.
- Add some seasonings: Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all great seasonings for roasted carrots. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as thyme, rosemary, or cumin.
- Toss the carrots halfway through cooking: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
- Roast the carrots until they are tender: The carrots should be tender when pierced with a fork. The cooking time will vary depending on the size and thickness of the carrots.
- Serve the carrots immediately: Roasted carrots are best served immediately, while they are still warm and crispy.
Conclusion:
Roasted carrots are a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed year-round. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make the perfect roasted carrots every time.
