Nutritional benefits

Carrot is rich in fibre and antioxidant beta-carotene, which is better absorbed with a little fat. Roasted, it caramelises and becomes naturally sweet, with just a touch of honey. Cumin adds flavour without calories. A tasty, healthy and colourful side dish.

Variations and substitutions

• With multicoloured carrots.
• With maple syrup (vegan version).
• With seeds (sesame, whole cumin).
• With ras el hanout.

Storage and making ahead

Keep for 3 days and reheat in the oven. Also good cold in a salad.

💡 Good to know

Cut the carrots into sticks of equal size and do not overcrowd the tray: they will caramelise instead of steaming.
