(from castro15’s recipe box)

Categories: Sides

Ingredients

  • 3 lb. carrots with tops, scrubbed, tops trimmed to 1-inch
  • 2 bunches spring onions, tops trimmed, halved lengthwise
  • 4 tbsp. olive oil, divided
  • Kosher salt
  • 1 tsp cumin seeds
  • 1 serrano chile, finely chopped, plus more sliced for serving
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
  • 2 tbsp. chopped mint, plus leaves for serving

Directions

  1. Prepare grill for medium-low heat. Toss carrots and spring onions on a rimmed baking sheet with 2 tbsp. oil; season with salt. Grill, covered, turning often and moving to a cooler part of the grill if they are browning too quickly, until crisp-tender, 15-20 minutes.

  2. Meanwhile, toast cumin in a dry small skillet over medium heat, tossing often, until slightly darkened and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Let cool; grind in spice mill. Mix in a medium bowl with chopped serrano, yogurt, lime juice, chopped mint, and remaining 2 tbsp. oil; season with salt.

  3. Spoon yogurt onto a platter; arrange carrots and onions over. Top with mint leaves and sliced chile.
