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.

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.

This is a great recipe for a healthy and flavorful side dish. The roasted carrots are sweet and tender, and the cilantro yogurt sauce is a great way to add some extra flavor and creaminess.

I made this dish for a potluck, and it was a big hit! Everyone loved the roasted carrots, and the cilantro yogurt sauce was a great dipping sauce.

This was a great way to use up some leftover carrots. I also added some zucchini and bell pepper to the roasting pan, and it turned out great!

I'm not a big fan of cilantro, but I still liked this dish. The yogurt sauce was creamy and tangy, and the peanuts added a nice crunch.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think next time I'll use less chili powder.

I love roasted carrots, but I've never had them with cilantro yogurt sauce before. It was a great combination!

The combination of roasted carrots, cilantro yogurt, and peanuts is genius! This dish is a great balance of sweet, savory, and crunchy. I will definitely be making this again.

This was a great recipe for a quick and easy side dish. I didn't have any cilantro on hand, so I used parsley instead. It still turned out great!

Roasted 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.

Meh. 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.

Easy 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.

These roasted carrots were a hit! The cilantro yogurt sauce was the perfect complement to the sweet and savory carrots. I also loved the added crunch from the peanuts. Will definitely be making this again!
