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.
Instead of making your own blend of spices now you can order our Jamie Geller Shawarma blend on amazon.
Shawarma Style Carrots
Servings
2 Servings
Ingredients
- 5 large carrots sliced in half lengthwise
- 1 lemon zest and juice
- 1 tablespoons olive oil
- 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
Instructions
- 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.
Thanks for the shawarma recipe. I usually buy it prepared but am glad to make my own.
what a great recipe! i love getting new ways to cook vegetables.
That seasoning combo sounds terrific. I am going to experiment using it with all sorts of food.
