EatingWell.com
Smashing steamed carrots coated in curry powder then finishing them under the broiler lets the flavor set in and gives the carrots a light, crispy edge.

Ingredients 

  • 1 pound Carrots Cut into 1/2 inch pieces
  • 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil Or vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon Curry Powder
  • ¼ teaspoon Curry Powder
  • ¼ teaspoon Ground Pepper
  • Cilantro Chopped, for garnish

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Baking Sheet
  • Large Pot
  • Stovetop

Instructions

  • Position oven rack 6 inches from broiler.
  • Bring a few inches of water to a boil in a large pot fitted with a steamer basket. Steam carrots until tender, 14 to 18 minutes.
  • Preheat broiler to high. Transfer the carrots to a large rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with oil and toss to coat. Space the carrot pieces evenly on the pan, then flatten with the bottom of a mason jar or sturdy glass. Combine curry powder, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Sprinkle over the carrots. Broil until hot and starting to brown, about 4 minutes. Sprinkle with cilantro before serving, if desired.
