Instructions

1. Fry your onions in half of your cooking oil for about 10 minutes on a medium heat. Add your crushed garlic, green chili and grated ginger. Fry for 3 minutes. Add your chili flakes, garam masala, and cumin. Add your red lentils and move them about the pan as you gently fry them.
2. Add a splash of water and stir with your lentils to stop them from sticking. Add a generous pinch of salt, and continue to add water if your lentils become too dry. Chop up your carrots into cylinders and chuck into the pan. After 10 minutes, chop up your tomatoes and add to your pan. At this point add your turmeric, and taste for salt.
3. Once your lentils are almost cooked (it should be 15-20 minutes total) add your spinach and stir it until it is all wilted.
4. Taste for salt and spiciness and add salt or black pepper if needed. Serve either with rice or naan, and it will go great with yogurt as well.
5. This meal is very healthy as it contains three of your five-a-day, and lentils are a great natural source of protein. Turmeric is also a natural anti-inflammatory and a bit of chili is good as an antioxidant. Hence it’s one of the healthiest meals you can enjoy!

Check out these spring vegetables that you must add to your list.

Asparagus

Asparagus is a delicious and often under-appreciated vegetable that comes into its peak season in the spring. We love preparing balsamic roasted asparagus, which only takes an oven, a little bit of balsamic vinegar, and some seasonings!

Peas

Peas are another spring favorite, when these little green beauties begin to burst with flavor and emerge from the ground as yet another veggie choice for us to enjoy. From wasabi peas to the classic buttery preparation, there’s so much you can do with a pea.

Carrots

“What’s up, doc?” Bugs Bunny and the rest of the rabbit community are undoubtedly glad to see the start of carrot season, and humans should be too! Not only are these orange beauties a great source of nutrients like Vitamin C, but they can also be enjoyed in all kinds of creative preparations.

Ingredients

This soup only needs carrots, onions, garlic, and ginger. You can either boil everything in water or stock, whatever you have time to do. In terms of spices, you really can just use salt and pepper, but if you want something more exciting, add in cumin or curry powder.

Instructions

1. Roughly chop onions and saute them in oil for a few minutes until they start to become translucent.
2. Dice garlic and ginger and add that into the pot as well.
3. Slice up carrots any size you want, however, if you want them to cook faster, cut them thin and small.
4. Add the carrots to the pot for just a few minutes to get them cooking and then cover everything in about 1-2 inches of liquid and bring to a boil.
5. Once the carrots are fork-tender, blend it all with an immersion blender and serve!

Grilled veggies can be so delicious that you can easily forget they’re actually good for you. If you’re not really into eating vegetables and want to change that, it’s a good idea to start with grilled peppers, squash, zucchini, etc. We urge you to try grilled carrots as well because they will amaze you with unexpected flavor. Carrots contain a lot of natural sugar and will taste great with some olive oil and salt. They are a perfect side dish for any main course and you can serve them alone or with some dipping sauce. The preparation is pretty simple.

You’ll Need

• A bunch of carrots
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• Some salt

Instructions

1. Cut off the carrots’ tops and scrub or peel them.
2. Slice the carrots in half lengthwise, unless they are so thin that this becomes impossible.
3. Use a big bowl to mix the carrots with olive oil and salt.
4. Place the carrots on heated grill or grill pan and cook for 15-20 minutes, flipping them over several times.
5. Once your fork can easily pierce through them, they are done.

This roasted carrot recipe is super simple and you can make a lot of them at once. So if you’re having a dinner party and want to try a new side, this is the way to go.

Carrots are also really affordable and super healthy, so don’t wait any longer to make this recipe!

Recipe

This recipe couldn’t be more simple, and you can simplify it further by using whole carrots inside of cutting them up.

If you do want to use whole carrots, make sure they’re all roughly the same size. If not, peel and chop them into strips.

Put them on a parchment-lined baking sheet and drizzle over some olive oil. Sprinkle on salt, pepper, and either chili powder or red chili flakes, whatever you’re more in the mood for.

Put your oven to the highest temperature possible and cook the carrots until they’re soft and start to blacken slightly.

Serve them with a squeeze of lime juice over the top. And if you want a really nice presentation, zest a lime onto the carrots, which will give it an even brighter flavor.

Carrots are generally not thought of as a vegetable that can take on spice well. However, Moroccan cooking is all about adding something special and spicy to any dish. Spiced carrots is a central dish to Morrocan cooking, and they couldn’t be easier to make! The flavor combinations come together so deliciously that you’ll wonder why you didn’t make them sooner.

Ingredients

What really brings this dish to life is the addition of fresh cilantro and coriander. Although they are often found together in Latin American dishes, they come together in these carrots in such a unique and delicious way.

Instructions

1. Peel and slice 1 pound of carrots into rounds.
2. Put them in a pot with 2 cups of water, along with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon of sweet paprika, a pinch of cayenne pepper, and salt and pepper to taste.
3. Bring the water to a boil and cook the carrots on medium-high heat until all the water is evaporated about 20 minutes.
4. Once the water is gone, pour in 1 tablespoon of white wine vinegar and a teaspoon of ground cumin.
5. Let the salad come to room temperature before serving or putting in the fridge for later.
6. When it’s time to serve, garnish with plenty of fresh cilantro.
