Ingredients
- 3 large carrots, peeled
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika
- Pinch of ground cinnamon
- Pinch of ground cayenne
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 small clove garlic, grated or very finely minced
- 1/2 cup packed fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, roughly chopped
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Harissa
Instructions
- 1. Using a mandoline slicer or very sharp knife, very thinly slice the carrots on the diagonal about 1/16 inch thick and put them in a bowl.
- 2. Put the cumin, paprika, cinnamon and cayenne in a small dry skillet over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until the spices are fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the oil and swirl the pan to mix. Add the lemon juice and swirl the pan; when the mixture begins to bubble, add the garlic and cook, swirling the pan, for 15 to 20 seconds, until the dressing is very hot. Pour the hot dressing over the carrots and toss with a large rubber spatula until the carrots are evenly coated and have absorbed the dressing. Add the parsley, season with salt and pepper, and toss until combined.
- 3. Serve at room temperature, with harissa, or refrigerate until ready to serve.

Reviews
The carrots lose their flavor by being overpowered by the spices. It isn’t a bad side dish, but I won’t make it again.
This was not quite what I was looking for… flavor was a bit flat and while I wanted the carrots served cold, it felt like this recipe needed them to be cooked. Added honey and salt and more lemon juice which helped a bit.
Definitely a new favorite… was very surprised with how quick and easy it was to make
I am not a huge fan of carrots and I’ve been looking for new ways to try them that work for me. THIS. WAS. DELICIOUS. It’s going on my regular recipe list.
