Ingredients
- 6 large carrots, peeled
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt, plus more for water
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
Directions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the whole carrots (cut them in half if they don't fit in the pot) and cook until just cooked through, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and cut carrots into 1/2-inch thick slices.
Whisk together the lemon juice, garlic, cumin, cayenne, and salt in a large bowl. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil until emulsified and stir in the parsley. Add the cooked carrots and toss to combine. Serve cold or at room temperature.

This simple carrot dish is really flavorful. Carrots aren't easy to jazz up and this recipe is simply MADE for carrots. We love it.

Great as is. Second time I hit it with a little agave syrup just to put a twist on it.

This is a wonderful dish - definitely a worthy dinner side dish if served hot, warm or room temperature. For dinner, this could be "Marinaded Carrots." Carrots are so tasty and healthful, their color and flavor complimenting many an entree or other vegetable. Not being a fan of the raisin/pineapple carrot salads, I am glad to find this. Can see that serving cold would allow more time for blending of the flavors. Do use the giant carrots (Whole Foods has them. They are very sweet and flavorful - no added sweetness needed. I did choke up a bit on the cayenne, mine probably being more potent coming from bulk, not bottled source. I just noted to take it down to 1/4 tsp. as long as I have this type. No insult to the chef to adjust some to your own and/or family's tastes. I like the use of lemon juice here, though used only 1 large lemon -- so much smoother than vinegar. One of the best recipe finds in a long time. Very appreciative. Highly recommend.
