Roasted Carrots with Dukkah

 
 
Ingredients:
1 1/2 pounds regular or rainbow carrots, scrubbed and peeled if desired.
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup coarsely chopped hazelnuts
1 tablespoon coriander seed
1 tablespoon sesame seed
1 1/2 teaspoons cumin seed
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon honey
Lemon wedges
Directions:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Trim carrots, reserving tops, if desired. Scrub carrots and peel, if desired. Halve any large carrots lengthwise. Line a shallow roasting pan with foil. Evenly spread carrots in pan. Drizzle with olive oil. Roast carrots, uncovered, for 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, for dukkah, heat a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add hazelnuts; cook and stir 3 minutes or until fragrant and toasted. Transfer to a glass bowl. Add coriander, sesame and cumin seed to hot skillet. Cook on medium-high heat for 2 minutes or until fragrant and toasted. Remove spices from heat and transfer to another bowl; cool for 10 minutes.

Using a spice grinder, coffee grinder, or mortar and pestle, grind or crush toasted spices till just coarsely ground or desired consistency. Add the hazelnuts, salt, and pepper, crushing nuts slightly. Remove carrots from the oven. Drizzle with honey; toss to evenly coat. Sprinkle carrots with half of the dukkah*. Return to the oven; roast 5 to 10 minutes more.

Serve carrots with lemon wedges. Makes 6 servings.
