CARAMELIZED CUMIN-ROASTED CARROTS

No matter what I do with carrots they never seem to be delicious to me. This recipe has done it for me. Simple and quick, you will love this and so will children. If you don't like cumin, try this recipe anyway. The cumin is not prominent, but adds a really nice taste to the carrots.

A good investment: A Convection oven. They come in all prices. I bought one for $50 at Costco. I love it. Uses less energy and cooks a bit quicker than a regular oven.

Serves 6
Time: 30-40 mins

Nonstick vegetable oil spray
12 medium to large carrots, peeled, cut on diagonal into
1/2" thick pieces
2 tbs olive oil
1-1/2 tsps cumin seeds
2 tsps coarse kosher salt

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray large rimmed baking
sheet with nonstick spray.

Combine carrots and all remaining ingredients in large bowl.
Toss to coat.

Spread in single layer on prepared baking sheet.

Roast carrots until tender and lightly caramelized, turning
over once. Do not overcook.
