Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon chile de arbol powder or crushed whole chiles
  • 1 piece ginger root (about 4 inches long), peeled and roughly chopped (about 1/4 cup)
  • 2 cloves garlic, peeled
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 2 pounds medium carrot, peeled and tops trimmed
  • 2 cups Swanson® Chicken Broth
  • 1 lime, cut into very thin slices
  • 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves
  • 1 cup walnuts, toasted and coarsely chopped

Instructions

  • Tips

    • If you want the carrots to look more charred, you can broil them for a few minutes after roasting.
  • 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.
