Roasted Carrots with Avocado and Parmesan

Here’s a tasty recipe from 2011 Clean Up 2nd Place winner and boot camper, FP.

You need:

• 1 pound of carrots
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• dash kosher salt
• freshly ground pepper to taste
• 1/2 tsp caraway seeds
• 1/2 ripe avocado
• 2-3 tbsp lemon juice
• grated Parmesan (optional)

Directions:

• heat oven to 400 degrees
• peel carrots and cut them into equal sized pieces
• in a bowl combine olive oil, salt, pepper and caraway seeds
• add carrots to mixture in bowl
• place carrots on baking sheet and roast for about 20min, flipping them twice in the process
• after carrots are done, take them out of the oven and let them cool down slightly
• while carrots cool down, peel and slice avocado
• combine avocado and lemon juice in salad bowl
• add the carrots while they are still warm (but not hot) and mix until all is well combined
• add some freshly ground pepper and sprinkle grated Parmesan on top

Thanks, FP!
