Ingredients
Scale
- 2 bunches of purple, yellow, and orange heirloom carrots
- 1 bunch spring onions
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) good quality extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 tsp chaat masala
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash the root vegetables thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
- Chop off the green, leafy parts of the carrots and spring onions and set them aside for other recipes, such as parathas or rotis.
- Cut the carrots into uniform pieces to ensure even roasting.
- Place the chopped carrots and spring onions in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with 1 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil and toss until the vegetables are evenly coated.
- Spread the vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle with 1/2 tsp of chaat masala while the vegetables are still warm. Toss gently to coat.
- Serve immediately as a side dish or snack, ideally with a cup of chai.
Notes
- For best results, use fresh heirloom carrots for a variety of colors and flavors.
- The green tops of the carrots and spring onions can be saved and used in other recipes, such as parathas or rotis.
- Serve the roasted vegetables immediately for the best texture and flavor.
