Roasted Carrots with Chana Masala Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 bunch carrots, peeled
• 1 Tbsp brown sugar (optional)
• 1 Tbsp neutral-tasting oil
• Kosher salt and pepper
• 10 oz Chana Masala (see Cook’s Tip)
• Garnish:
• 2 Tbsp chopped carrot-top greens, flat-leaf parsley, or cilantro

Directions:

1. Position oven rack in top third of oven. Preheat oven to 400°F.
2. If carrots are thick, slice in half lengthwise. Place carrots on parchment-lined, rimmed baking sheet and drizzle with oil. Sprinkle with brown sugar, 3/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp pepper. Toss to coat and spread out evenly.
3. Roast for 15-20 minutes or until soft and browned, turning once after 10 minutes.
4. While carrots roast, heat the chana masala. If it’s too thick, stir in a splash of water.
5. To serve, place roasted carrots on a platter or 4 plates. Spoon chana masala over the top or alongside. Garnish with chopped carrots tops or herbs.
