Ingredients

• 500 grams baby carrots
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with oil.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, ground cumin, ground coriander, ground cinnamon, paprika, honey, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to create a spiced marinade.

Step 3

Add the baby carrots to the bowl with the marinade. Toss thoroughly to ensure the carrots are evenly coated with the spice mixture.

Step 4

Spread the coated baby carrots in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 5

Roast the carrots in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized, stirring once halfway through cooking for even roasting.

Step 6

Remove the carrots from the oven and drizzle them with fresh lemon juice.

Step 7

Transfer the roasted carrots to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

Step 8

Serve warm as a flavorful side dish for any meal.
