ROASTED CARROTS WITH CILANTRO YOGURT AND PEANUTS



Roasted Carrots With Cilantro Yogurt and Peanuts image

Carrot takes center stage in this easy-to-assemble side dish. Tangy Greek yogurt is combined with cilantro, coriander and lime juice to create a creamy bed for carrots that have been roasted until just caramelized. Salted peanuts finish the dish with a nice little crunch. If you can find rainbow carrots, this dish becomes even more vivid, but straightforward orange ones work just as nicely.

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 pounds medium carrots, peeled and halved lengthwise (quartered lengthwise if large)
2 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 cup full-fat Greek yogurt
1/2 cup finely chopped cilantro
1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
1 tablespoon lime juice, (about 1/2 lime), plus more for serving (optional)
Pinch of Aleppo pepper or red-pepper flakes (optional)
Kosher salt
1/4 cup roughly chopped roasted, salted peanuts
3 tablespoons scallions, thinly sliced, green parts only
Flaky salt, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. Make the carrots: In a large bowl, toss the carrots with the olive oil. Season well with salt and pepper, add the dried coriander, and toss the mixture to evenly coat.

  • Spread the cilantro yogurt on the bottom of a plate or platter and arrange roasted carrots on top. Scatter peanuts and scallions on top, and finish with flaky salt and a squeeze of lime juice, if using.
