Ingredients

  • 2 pounds medium carrots
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon za’atar
  • salt & pepper
  • red pepper flakes
Garnish
  • Greek yogurt
  • cilantro

Preparation

Trim the tops off 2 pounds medium carrots, leaving just a bit (2–3 carrots per person).

Lay carrots out on a baking sheet and drizzle generously with olive oil (about 3 tablespoons) and 1 tablespoon Za’atar. Roll carrots with your fingers to coat well.

Sprinkle with salt, pepper and red pepper flakes.

Bake at 400º F for 20 minutes, or until tender. (Can be roasted a few hours ahead.)

Serve whole carrots on a platter garnished with Greek yogurt, cilantro and sesame seeds (warm or at room temperature).
