Cumin Roasted Carrots
The perfect side dish for Thanksgiving, or anytime of the year when you want to be reminded of those rich and savory aromas of late fall. Cumin and cinnamon add a wonderful aroma and depth of flavor to these golden roasted purple carrots.
Using purple carrots make this dish as beautiful as it is delicious. I got these carrots from my neighbors garden – I didn’t even know they came in other colors! Slice them lengthwise, and keep a bit of the stems on if you can (just for looks).
Mix up the marinade and let it sit for an hour to let the flavors absorb. Then drizzle on some olive oil and roast the until tender.
