Step 1
Heat the oven to 425°F. Grind the chile powder, ginger and garlic with a mortar and pestle until the mixture forms a paste Stir in the honey, coconut aminos, fish sauce, vinegar and turmeric (if you don't have a mortar and pestle, add the ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth).
Step 2
Arrange the carrots on a rimmed baking sheet. Spoon the chile mixture over the carrots. Pour the broth in the pan until the bottom is just covered.
Step 3
Roast on middle oven rack for 30 minutes, basting once with the broth halfway through the roasting time. Remove from the oven and baste again. Add the lime slices.
Step 4
Roast for 15 minutes or until the carrots are tender and caramelized. Serve the carrots topped with the mint and walnuts and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
