THE most important longevity ingredient is TASTE

These Honey roasted carrots turn a humble veg into the best thing on the table 🥕

Four warm spices — cumin, caraway, coriander, and fennel — plus a little smoked paprika and a caramelized honey-lemon glaze. One pan, about 35 minutes, and a side dish that quietly steals the meal.

This one is from my cookbook The Blue Zones Kitchen: One Pot Meals (100 recipes to live to 100). Here’s the full recipe so you can make it tonight 👇

HONEY ROASTED CARROTS · serves 4
Glaze
    •    1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
    •    1 tbsp lemon juice
    •    1 tbsp honey
Carrots
    •    12 oz carrots, peeled (about 5 medium)
    •    1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
    •    ½ tsp salt
    •    ¼ tsp each: cumin seed, caraway seed, coriander seed, fennel seed
    •    ¼ tsp smoked paprika
    •    ¼ cup carrot greens or parsley, chopped
Method
    1    Heat oven to 350°F. Whisk the glaze ingredients until the honey dissolves; set aside.
    2    Halve or quarter the carrots lengthwise so the thick ends are about ¼ inch. Toss with the oil, then the salt and spices.
    3    Spread on a sheet pan in a single layer, curved sides up. Roast 30 minutes.
    4    Drizzle with the glaze and roast 5 minutes more.
    5    Scatter the chopped greens over the top and serve warm.

Save this for your next dinner, and tell me which spice you’d reach for first 👇
