From The Young Forever Cookbook

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, grated
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp toasted cumin seeds
  • 0.5 tsp fennel seeds
  • 1 tsp grated lemon zest
  • 2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1.5 lb medium carrots
  • 1 cup sheep's milk yogurt
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes
  • Fresh cilantro leaves

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. For the carrots: In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, garlic, 1 teaspoon of the ground cumin, the cumin seeds, fennel seeds, lemon zest, and salt. Add the carrots and toss to evenly coat. Place the carrots, cut side down if sliced, on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast, flipping about halfway through, until the carrots are caramelized and tender, 25 to 30 minutes. Allow to cool slightly.
  3. For the yogurt: In a small bowl, combine the yogurt, remaining 1 teaspoon ground cumin, the lime juice, and red pepper flakes to taste.
  4. Spread the yogurt on the bottom of a rimmed plate. Top with roasted carrots and garnish with cilantro and a good drizzle of olive oil.
