How to Make Moroccan Spiced Baby Carrots

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger.
  3. Add 1 pound baby carrots to the bowl. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Toss gently to coat the carrots evenly.
  4. Arrange the carrots in a single layer on a large baking sheet or jelly-roll pan.
  5. Bake for 13 minutes, then gently toss the carrots and bake for another 9 minutes, or until tender-crisp and slightly caramelized.
  6. Remove from oven and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro before serving.
