Tunisian Carrots with Caraway and Cumin
This is a Tunisian twist on a Moroccan Rosh Hashanah salad that I love. The round carrots remind me of golden coins, part of the wish in Sephardic Rosh Hashanah seders for wealth in the new year.
Method
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and toss the carrots and the garlic with half of the olive oil in a small roasting pan. Roast in the oven for about 50 minutes or until the carrots are fork-tender, tossing occasionally so they do not stick. Remove from the oven.
- While the carrots are roasting, whisk together the lemon juice, remaining olive oil, harissa, caraway seeds, cumin, salt, and sweet paprika.
- After the carrots have cooled slightly, toss them with the dressing. Transfer to a shallow bowl and sprinkle with cilantro, parsley, or chives. Serve warm or at room temperature.
