Cumin Scented Carrots (Gluten-Free, Paleo, Nut and Seed Free)

Print

By

The cumin carrots were inspired by one of my favorite dishes  – ABC Kitchen’s carrot and snow-pea shoot salad with sunflower seeds. ABC Kitchen’s carrots are roasted in orange juice.  I had left-over champagne from the evening before so used that. Chicken or vegetable stock would work equally well.

Further Food Nutritionist Commentary:

These roasted cumin carrots are great as an addition to a salad or as a side dish for lunch or dinner! Even though carrots are considered a "starchy vegetable", one serving of these cumin carrots only has 12g carbs - 4g being fiber, and another 4g being natural sugars! Carrots are also known for their vitamin A content, specifically, the form of Vitamin A that provides their orange color, Beta Carotene. Beta Carotene is best known for its contribution to eye health but also acts as an antioxidant by protecting the body from free radicals!
