Ingredients (2 Persons)

  • 2 pounds carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk
  • 1/4 cup peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons freshly chopped cilantro leaves
  • 1/4 cup roasted cashews, for garnish (optional)

Directions

  • Step 1
    Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Step 2
    In a large bowl, combine the carrots, olive oil, cumin, coriander, ginger, garlic powder, turmeric, smoked paprika, cinnamon, cardamom, cayenne (if using), salt, and pepper.
  • Step 3
    Toss to coat the carrots evenly with the spices. Spread the carrots onto the prepared baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, until the carrots are tender and lightly browned.
  • Step 4
    Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine the coconut milk, peanut butter, lime juice, and cilantro. Heat over medium-low heat until the peanut butter is melted and the sauce is smooth, stirring occasionally.
  • Step 5
    Remove the carrots from the oven and transfer to a serving bowl. Pour the curry sauce over the carrots and toss to coat. Garnish with roasted cashews, if desired, and serve.
