The roasting concentrates the sweetness of the carrots, and the za’atar, with tangy, salty, nutty notes, complements the sweetness beautifully. If you have kids who won’t eat carrots, this is a great recipe to get them to appreciate the deliciousness of this nutritious vegetable. And if you already love carrots, you can be certain you’ll love them even more.
Top tips
I used multicolored carrots which look pretty, but regular orange carrots or any color carrots work perfectly in this recipe and will be just as tasty. The za’atar blend is added twice during this recipe–half before roasting and the other half after, for the best flavor. A bit of parsley sprinkled over the carrots at the end adds a pop of flavor, but it’s not necessary. You can add cilantro or lemon zest for a slightly different flavor finish.
