I love the new trend to make the vegetables the star. Try spicing up a whole carrot and roasting like this, serve over kale, or lentils or hummus. I enjoy drizzled with tehnia or harissa. If you can't imagine making these carrots play center stage, you should enjoy them as a side.

Ingredients

5 large carrots, sliced in half lengthwise
1 lemon, zest and juice
1 tablespoons olive oil

Shawarma seasoning

2 teaspoon paprika
2 teaspoon cumin
2 teaspoons coriander
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon fennel seeds, smashed
2 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Preparation

Peel and clean carrots, place in a tray to hold marinade. Drizzle olive oil over top, lemon zest and lemon juice.

Prepare shawarma seasoning by mixing all spices in a bowl. This will make more than you need, so set aside the extra for another time. Sprinkle 2-3 teaspoons of spices over carrots, mix and let marinade for at least 1 hour or even overnight.

Preheat oven to 400.

Place carrots on a pan and roast for 20-30 minutes until cooked through and starting to brown.
