Method
1.
Preheat oven to 180c. Place the carrots on a baking tray and drizzle over 1 tbsp. oil. Then sprinkle over the cumin powder and sugar.

Roast in the oven for 30-40 minutes (They are cooked when a sharp knife passes easily into the flesh)

3.
Serve with freshly toasted pitta bread and crudites.
Pro tip:

Delicious with mint but switch to any other herb that takes your fancy. Enjoy as a spread - a healthier alternative to mayonnaise - pick a herb that compliments your sarnie!
