Ingredients
  • 1 bunch carrots
  • ½ garlic clove, minced (use the other half in the yogurt sauce)
  • Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
  • Sea salt and fresh black pepper
For the cilantro yogurt:
  • Heaping ½ cup plain yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1-2 teaspoons agave or honey
  • 1 teaspoon minced onion or onion powder
  • ½ medium or large garlic clove, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • ½ teaspoon brown mustard seeds
  • ¼ cup chopped cilantro, reserve some for garnish
  • Sea salt
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
  2. Depending on the size of your carrots, slice them lengthwise in half or quarters. Drizzle with a bit of olive oil and toss them with the minced garlic and pinches of salt and pepper. Arrange on a baking sheet. Bake for about 20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  3. Meanwhile, make the yogurt: In a small bowl, combine the yogurt, olive oil, agave, onion, garlic, ginger, lime juice, mustard seeds, cilantro (reserving some for garnish), and a pinch of salt. Stir, taste, and adjust seasonings. Add the reserved cilantro on top for garnish. Refrigerate until ready to serve with the roasted carrots.
