Preparation

  • Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.

  • Step 2

    Add the carrots, chopped dates and ginger to a medium bowl. Pour the coconut oil over the carrot mixture and toss to evenly coat. Sprinkle the cumin, cardamom, salt and pepper over the mix and toss to incorporate.

  • Step 3

    Evenly spread the carrot mixture on the prepared baking sheet. Roast, tossing the mixture halfway through, until golden brown and tender, 25 to 30 minutes.

  • Step 4

    Remove the carrots from the oven and transfer to a bowl. Add the remaining ingredients to the roasted carrots and toss to coat. Check for seasoning, then transfer to a platter and serve immediately.
