CHILI-LIME ROASTED CARROTS

Steps:

• Toss 1 1/2 pounds peeled carrots with 1 tablespoon olive oil and a big pinch of salt and pepper on a baking sheet. Roast at 450˚ F until tender and browned, about 25 minutes. Whisk 2 tablespoons sour cream, 1 tablespoon each olive oil and lime juice and 1/4 teaspoon chili powder; season with salt. Drizzle over the carrots; sprinkle with crumbled queso fresco, roasted pepitas and cilantro.

FARM CARROTS WITH CUMIN, CARAWAY & LIME

Steps:

• If using baby carrots, half or quarter lengthwise.
• Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add cumin, caraway and mustard seeds to dry skillet. Cook and stir until seeds are toasted and begin to pop, about 3 to 4 minutes. If you don't have cumin or mustard seeds, try about 1/4-1/2 teaspoon powdered and add with carrot juice in next step.
• Carefully add carrot juice and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until mixture is reduced by three-quarters, about 4 minutes. Add butter and stir until just melted. Strain, discard seeds and set aside, keeping warm.
• In the same skillet, cook the carrots in olive oil over medium heat about 15 to 18 minutes (depending on whether your carrots are large or small julienne) or until tender, turning occasionally.
• Add carrot juice reduction, stir in lime juice, and salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle with herbs to serve.
