    Roasted carrots with dressing on baking tray

    These roasted carrots are an old favourite making frequent appearances at family bbqs and lunches.

    They are sweet and lightly spiced with cumin and paprika. A dressing of lemon and crème fraîche  adds a lovely fresh flavour.

    The carrots are tossed in oil to help them cook quicker.

    During the roasting process, as they lose moisture the sugars begin to caramelise, and they develop a richer, more intense flavour. Eventually the carrots soften, but they still have a very satisfying crunch.

    It is a great accompaniment to roasted meats such as Turkey, Lamb, or Tandoori Chicken. It requires little effort as hardly any preparation is required, and the dressing can be made earlier in the day.

    Prepare the carrots

    • Rinse the carrots well. You can peel them if you like, but leaving the skins on helps preserve some of the nutrients. Then slice them in half or quarters, lengthways.
    • Mix together the olive oil, salt, cumin and paprika, then toss in the carrots ensuring they are well coated. 
    • Spread the carrots out on a baking sheet and bake till they are fork-tender.

    The dressing

    The dressing can be made while the carrots are in the oven or earlier in the day. Keep covered in the fridge till needed.

    • In a small bowl, mix together the lemon juice, garlic, crème fraîche, salt and pepper.
    • Drizzle over the carrots and top with some freshly ground black pepper.

    To serve

    These carrots are great served warm or at room temperature. Prepare the dressing in advance and keep in the fridge till ready to serve. 

    Storing

    The carrots can be stored in an airtight container overnight in the fridge, and then reheated the next day. However, once the carrots are covered in the dressing, they are best consumed the same day.
