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.

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.

g.a24k@gmail.comRoasted carrots are one of my favorite side dishes, and this recipe is one of the best I've tried. The carrots are perfectly roasted, and the cilantro yogurt sauce is a great way to add some extra flavor and creaminess.
Jimmy Bailey
bailey-j@hotmail.comMeh. I thought this dish was just okay. The carrots were a little bland, even after roasting them for the full amount of time. The yogurt sauce was good, but it didn't really save the dish.
Brit Anderson
a_brit@hotmail.comEasy and delicious! I roasted the carrots for a little longer than the recipe called for, just because I like them extra caramelized. The yogurt sauce was a great way to cool down the heat from the chili powder.
