Yields

4-6 servings

Ingredients

    • 1 1/2 lbs. large carrots, peeled and trimmed
    • 5 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided
    • 1 1/2 tsp. ground coriander
    • 3/4 tsp. ground cumin
    • 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
    • 1/4 tsp. black pepper
    • 3 Tbsp. chopped fresh parsley
    • 1 Tbsp. finely chopped capers
    • 1 garlic clove, grated on a microplane
    • 3 Tbsp. chopped pistachios
    • 2 tsp. sesame seeds

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 400ºF. Cut carrots on a diagonal into 2" pieces.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 Tbsp. olive oil, coriander, cumin, salt, and black pepper; mix to combine. Add carrots and toss until fully coated. Spread carrots on a large rimmed baking sheet, avoiding any overlap. Roast carrots for 33 to 38 minutes, tossing once halfway through, until lightly charred and deeply caramelized.
  • To the same mixing bowl (no need to wipe it clean), add the remaining 3 Tbsp. olive oil, parsley, capers, and garlic; mix well.
  • Add pistachios and sesame seeds to a dry skillet over medium heat. Lightly toast nuts and seeds, tossing often, until aromatic, about 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and season with a pinch of salt.
  • Use a spatula to transfer roasted carrots from the baking sheet to the bowl with parsley mixture; toss to combine.
  • Spread roasted carrots on a serving platter, and scatter pistachio-sesame mixture overtop.
