Grill-Seared Moroccan Spiced Carrots

Ingredients

• 2 lbs large carrots, peeled and halved lengthwise
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp ground coriander
• 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
• 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
• 2 tbsp fresh mint, chopped

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F).

2. 2

   In a large bowl, toss the carrots with olive oil, cumin, coriander, smoked paprika, cayenne (if using), salt, and pepper until evenly coated.

3. 3

   Place the carrots directly on the grill grates, perpendicular to the grates if possible, to prevent them from falling through.

4. 4

   Grill for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the carrots are tender-crisp with visible char marks.

5. 5

   While carrots grill, whisk together Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and chopped mint in a small bowl.

6. 6

   Remove carrots from the grill and arrange on a platter.

7. 7

   Drizzle generously with the lemon-mint yogurt sauce before serving warm.
