- 6 medium carrots (chopped into spears 2 inches long and ½ inch wide)
- 2 teaspoon za'atar (divided)
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- Salt and ground black pepper to taste
Optional ingredient for garnish
- 2 tablespoon parsley (chopped)
Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
Place the carrots in a big bowl with 1 teaspoon of za'atar, cumin, olive oil and salt and ground black pepper. Toss well to mix.
Spread the carrots in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Roast the carrots for 25 to 30 minutes. Flip the carrots over halfway through cooking so both sides get lightly golden.
Remove from the oven, return to the bowl, then toss with remaining teaspoon of za'atar.
Garnish with parsley, if using. Serve hot, warm or cold.
