Mix together toasted and ground cumin and coriander, finely grated ginger, and a pinch of cayenne pepper. Coat the warm carrots in the spice mixture.
3. Marinate Carrots
Transfer the spiced carrots to a marinating container and refrigerate for several hours, or ideally overnight.
4. Prepare Dressing and Serve
Whisk together lime juice, extra-virgin olive oil, and chopped cilantro or parsley. Toss the marinated carrots with the dressing before serving.
