Chili-Roasted Carrots

The October 2009 issue of Eating Well had a great article entitled “Carrots with Charisma” – the first recipe, Chili-Roasted Carrots, caught my eye as it had many of my favorite flavors: lime, cilantro and carrots.  It was delicious and will definitely become a repeat recipe in our kitchen.  I had the carrots with quinoa and some other roasted vegetables, but I bet they would be delicious with chicken or fish too, or even lamb.

Chili-Roasted Carrots
Eating Well Magazine, October 2009
Serves 4


2 tablespoons canola oil (I used grapeseed oil)
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 pounds carrots (10-12 medium), cut into 1/4-inch diagonal slices
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons lime juice

Position rack in lower third of oven; preheat to 450ºF.  Combine oil, chili powder, cumin and salt in a medium bowl. Add carrots and toss well to coat. Spread out on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast the carrots, stirring once, until tender and golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Toss the carrots with cilantro and lime juice. Serve immediately.
