Spice-Roasted Carrots
Spice-Roasted Carrots are a flavorful and healthy side dish made by tossing carrots in a mixture of warm spices such as cumin, paprika, coriander, or turmeric, along with olive oil, salt, and pepper. They are then roasted in the oven until caramelized and tender. This dish balances earthy, sweet, and savory flavors and pairs well with various mains like roasted meats, grains, or salads. Optionally, they can be garnished with fresh herbs, yogurt, or nuts for added texture and freshness.
