- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro chopped (for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, toss the carrots with olive oil, chili powder, paprika, cumin, cayenne, salt, and pepper.
- Spread the carrots evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
- Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and slightly caramelized, flipping halfway through.
- Once done, garnish with fresh cilantro and a drizzle of lemon juice for extra freshness.
Notes
- Adjust the heat level by modifying the amount of chili powder and cayenne pepper; paprika and ground cumin add warmth without extra heat.
- Peel and cut carrots in advance, store in an airtight container for up to 24 hours before roasting.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for 4 days or freeze for 3 months; reheat in the oven at 375°F or microwave until warm.
- Place carrots in a single layer in the air fryer at 375°F for 15 minutes, tossing halfway through for a crispier finish.
