I saw this recipe for za'atar roasted carrots in this month's issue of the Good Housekeeping magazine when I was at the hairdresser! There's a big section of recipes for your festive feast and this was one of the sides that just looked and sounded yummy. The recipe isn't currently on the website, however, check it out for other delicious recipes.
As well as enjoying this as a side with your Christmas dinner, it'll be lovely with any roast dinners or as a side with chicken, pork, beef and lamb dishes - it's very quick to prepare and then the oven does all the work!
The end result is tender carrots with a subtle flavour of za'atar and sesame seeds.
Tips
- Substitution – try this recipe with parsnips instead of carrots.
- Make ahead – prepare the recipe to the end of step 1, up to 2 hours ahead. Cover and chill. Complete the recipe to serve.
- This za’atar roasted carrots recipe is easily adapted if you’re cooking for less or more people – the photos are a quarter of the recipe to serve 2.
