We love how the Egyptian nut, seed and spice blend dukkah adds aroma, flavor and texture to this otherwise simple purple carrot recipe.

Ingredients

2 pounds purple carrots, halved or quartered lengthwise, if large
4 cloves garlic, peeled
3 sprigs fresh thyme
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
¼ teaspoon salt plus 1/8 teaspoon, divided
¼ cup finely chopped unsalted pistachios
1 tablespoon black sesame seeds
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
Place carrots, garlic and thyme on the prepared pan. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons oil and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt; toss to coat. Roast until the carrots are tender but not browned, 25 to 30 minutes. Discard the thyme.
Meanwhile, to prepare dukkah: Heat a small skillet over low heat. Add pistachios, sesame seeds, coriander, cumin and the remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt; cook, stirring constantly, until warm and fragrant, 2 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat.
Arrange the carrots and garlic on a platter. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and sprinkle with the dukkah. Serve warm.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
