Roasted Carrots with Turmeric and Cumin

1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Carrots

Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Slice the peeled carrots lengthwise if thick for even cooking. Coat carrots with extra-virgin olive oil, and season with salt and freshly ground pepper. Sprinkle fresh thyme leaves over the carrots and spread them on a baking sheet.

2. Roast Carrots

Place the carrots in the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes until they are caramelized at the edges and tender.

3. Prepare Spice Butter

Grind the lightly toasted cumin and coriander seeds into a powder. Mix with room-temperature butter, turmeric, and Aleppo pepper or chili powder to create a spice butter.

4. Toss Carrots with Spice Butter and Mint

Remove the roasted carrots from the oven and place them back into the large bowl. Add the spice butter and let it melt over the hot carrots. Toss in the chopped fresh mint. Adjust seasoning if needed and serve immediately.
