With different kinds of spices, after simmering for about 10 minutes, all the flavors mingle together and give these carrots great flavor. Great new twist to a traditional side dish.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon canola oil
5 cloves garlic minced
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon cumin ground
1 teaspoon coriander ground
3 cups carrots sliced
3/4 cup water
2 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 x salt to taste
1/4 cup cilantro leaves freshly chopped

Directions

Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.

Add garlic, paprika, cumin and coriander; cook, stirring, until fragrant but not browned, about 30 seconds.

Add carrots, water, lemon juice and salt; bring to a simmer.

Reduce heat to medium low, cover and cook until almost tender, 5 to 7 minutes.

Uncover and simmer, stirring often, until the carrots are just tender and the liquid is syrupy, 6-8 minutes.

Stir in cilantro leaves.

Serve hot.

Reviews

Delicious, our family love carrots, not only they are healthy and nutrinal, but also we have lots of ways to cook them, giving carrots rich flavor, this spiced carrots amazed me, I simmered them longer, just let all the water absorb and almost turned into a thick garlic and spice sauce, stir in fresh cilantro leaves, very delicious.
