Mediterranean Roasted Rainbow Carrots with Smoky Garlic Crunch

Ingredients

• 2 lbs rainbow carrots, peeled and trimmed
• 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
• 1/2 cup toasted slivered almonds
• Salted Perfection Garlic Sauté Finishing Salt (to finish)
• Freshly cracked black pepper (to taste)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. No stickin’, no fuss.
2. Toss carrots with olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, a hefty pinch of black pepper, and half the sliced garlic. Spread in a single layer — crispy, not soggy — you got me?
3. Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping once, until carrots are caramelized at the edges and fork-tender.
4. Meanwhile, heat a small skillet over medium. Add remaining garlic slices and toast until golden and fragrant (about 2 minutes). Set aside.
5. When carrots are done, drizzle with red wine vinegar while hot. Pile onto a serving platter.
6. Top with toasted almonds, crispy garlic, and a shower of parsley.
7. Sprinkle generously with Salted Perfection Garlic Sauté Finishing Salt. Balance is everything.
8. Serve warm or at room temp. DUNZO!
