ROASTED CARROTS WITH CILANTRO YOGURT AND PEANUTS

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.

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, firm carrots for roasting. Avoid carrots that are bruised or have blemishes.
  • Trim the carrots, leaving about 1 inch of the green tops intact. This will help to prevent the carrots from drying out during roasting.
  • Toss the carrots with olive oil, salt, and pepper before roasting. This will help them to brown and caramelize.
  • Roast the carrots at a high temperature (425 degrees Fahrenheit) for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly charred.
  • Serve the roasted carrots immediately, or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Roasted carrots are a simple but delicious side dish that can be enjoyed on any occasion. They are healthy, flavorful, and versatile. You can serve them with a variety of dishes, including grilled chicken, roasted pork, or fish. Roasted carrots are also a great addition to salads, soups, and stews.
