Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Tear off about 5 feet of aluminum foil and fold it in half.
- Place the carrots, cumin seeds, thyme leaves, butter, and salt and pepper in the middle of the foil.

CUMIN ROASTED CARROTS
Steps:
- Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F, or a grill to high (if you are outside, prepare a campfire). Cut any large carrots in half lengthwise and crosswise.
- Drizzle a large sheet of foil with some oil. Arrange the carrots in a flat, single layer over half the sheet of foil. Drizzle the carrots with more oil and sprinkle with the garlic, cumin and salt and pepper. Top the carrots with the butter and drizzle with the honey. Fold the foil in half over the carrots and fold the edges to seal and form a pouch. To avoid crowding the carrots, make two pouches if necessary.
- Cook the pouch in the oven or on a grill or campfire for 15 minutes. To serve, cut open the pouch tableside and finish with a sprinkle of parsley.

ROASTED CARROTS WITH TURMERIC AND CUMIN
These are based on Suzanne Goin's turmeric-spiced root vegetables from her wonderful new book "The A.O.C. Cookbook." I use her technique for roasting the carrots, and use the same spices she uses, but I make the dish with a little less olive oil and butter. Suzanne serves her mix of carrots, turnips, parsnips and rutabagas with Greek yogurt seasoned with makrut lime juice and zest, and mint chutney. They are also delicious on their own.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Cut the carrots in half lengthwise and crosswise. If the carrots are fat at one end, cut the fat half in half again lengthwise, so that the pieces are more or less equal in thickness. Place in a large bowl and toss with the olive oil, salt and pepper, and thyme leaves.
- Heat a heavy baking sheet in the oven for 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the oven and place the carrots on it in one layer. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring the carrots every 10 minutes. They should be slightly caramelized and tender.
- While the carrots are in the oven place the cumin and coriander seeds in a mortar and pestle and grind. Add the soft butter, turmeric and Aleppo pepper or chili powder and stir with the pestle until well amalgamated. Transfer to a large pan.
- Remove the carrots from the oven when done and add to the pan with the spice butter and the mint. Toss together, taste and adjust salt and pepper. Serve from the pan or transfer to a platter.

BAKED CARROTS
"THESE CARROTS are compatible with most any meal. The chicken broth gives them great flavor. Whenever I serve this dish, there are never any leftovers. For a variation, this vegetable combination is delicious mashed in with potatoes."

Tips:
- Choose the right carrots: For the best flavor and texture, use young, tender carrots. Look for carrots that are smooth and free of blemishes.
- Wash the carrots thoroughly: Scrub the carrots well under cold water to remove any dirt or debris.
- Cut the carrots into even-sized pieces: This will help them cook evenly. If the carrots are too thick, they will take longer to cook and may not be as tender.
- Roast the carrots at a high temperature: This will help them caramelize and develop a slightly sweet flavor.
- Add the cumin and thyme butter towards the end of cooking: This will prevent the butter from burning and will allow the flavors to meld together.
- Serve the carrots immediately: They are best when served hot and fresh out of the oven.
Conclusion:
Baked carrots with cumin, thyme butter, and chardonnay are a delicious and easy side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. The carrots are tender and flavorful, and the cumin and thyme butter adds a touch of sophistication. This dish is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion.
