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.

Steps:
- Put the carrots, thyme, rosemary, garlic, star anise and bay leaf in a saucepan and just cover with water. Season well with sea salt and bring to the boil. Simmer the carrots slowly for about 30 mins until soft and tender, then remove from the heat and allow to cool. Once cooled, remove the carrots from the water with a slotted spoon, pat dry with kitchen paper, transfer to a plate and put in the fridge for 20 mins until completely chilled.
- In a large frying pan, heat the olive oil to just under smoking, then fry the carrots for about 5 mins until golden brown all over. Turn the heat down, add the butter and cumin seeds, roll the carrots around until they are lovely and glossy, then remove and serve.

Tips:
- Choose the right carrots: Look for carrots that are firm and smooth, with no blemishes or bruises. Smaller carrots will cook more evenly than larger ones.
- Wash and peel the carrots: Scrub the carrots clean under running water, then peel them with a vegetable peeler.
- Cut the carrots into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly. Cut the carrots into rounds, slices, or chunks, depending on your preference.
- Toss the carrots with olive oil and spices: This will help the carrots to caramelize and develop flavor. Use a mixture of olive oil, cumin, salt, and pepper, or experiment with other spices like paprika, garlic powder, or chili powder.
- Roast the carrots at a high temperature: This will help them to brown and caramelize. Roast the carrots at 425°F for 20-30 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly browned.
- Serve the carrots warm: Roasted carrots are best served warm, as a side dish or as a snack.
Conclusion:
Roasted carrots with cumin are a simple and delicious side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are a good source of vitamins and minerals, and they are also a low-calorie food. Roasted carrots can be served with a variety of main dishes, or they can be enjoyed on their own as a snack.
