Ingredients
  • 1 pound rainbow carrots
  • 2 large oranges
  • ⅓ cup olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons fresh ginger, grated
  • ½ teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • 1 ½ tablespoons honey
  • ½ teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 2 scallions, chopped
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro, packed
Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 375 F.
  2. Wash the rainbow carrots to remove any impurities, and then slice any larger carrots in half lengthways.
  3. Zest and juice one orange, and slice the other into segments. Set the orange zest to one side.
  4. Place the prepared carrots into a large roasting tray and toss them with the olive oil, the fresh ginger, the orange segments, the orange juice, the ground coriander, and the sesame seeds.
  5. Place the roasting tray into the oven and roast the carrots for 30 minutes, until they are just tender when pierced with a knife, and are beginning to color.
  6. Set the carrots aside to cool for 5 minutes, and then transfer them to a bowl along with any juices in the tray, and toss them with the honey, the orange zest, the cumin seeds, the scallions, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix in half of the fresh cilantro, and top the carrot salad with the rest of it. Serve warm or cold.
