How are you serving carrots for Simanim?

Roasted with sugar, honey, and a drizzle of oil.
They come out sticky, sweet and a bit crunchy.

We eat them as we bring them out.

Yum!! I'd love the details please! Thanks!!

For the cumin-haters, the cumin can be left out, it will still be great.

From Joy of Kosher magazine (years ago)

peel 1 lb carrots and slice into 1 inch slices on a diagonal (prettier that way)

mix together:
1 Tbsp cumin
1 tsp crushed red pepper (optional, I leave it out)
4 cloves thinly sliced garlic
2 teaspoons honey
juice of 1 lemon
1/2 cup olive oil
1 tsp salt
pinch of black pepper

Pour dressing over carrots, place on baking tray and roast in 425 degree oven for 20 minutes

We eat them raw, together with the other simanim. No fans of cooked carrots or salad-dressed carrots here.

Same here. Never knew it was a thing to make and eat simanim in a cooked or prepared way until Imamother

I just made this with sliced canned carrots. So easy and delicious!
Thanks for the idea of roasting them instead of cooking them.

Roasted rainbow carrots and apples:

Peel the carrots and slice thickly on the diagonal. Quarter some apples, remove the core, slice each quarter into thirds and then each slice into thirds so you have roughly diced apples all with peel still attached. Toss with olive oil, salt and pepper, and some cardamom (optional). Roast until carrots are cooked through.

Carrots from the chicken soup

so in the past I thought I was so smart for using carrots from the soup and then I wondered how do people manage the fish/ fish head with that?

Aren’t we supposed to avoid sour ingredients like lemons garlic?

For 1 lb carrots, roughly 1/4 c sugar, drizzled with honey and oil. In the oven for an hour/hour and a half or so. Every half hour I shake the pan so it doesn't stick
It's done when it starts browning at the edges.

Eta white sugar.
I usually do it on 350 just because im using my oven for other food also. I don't know how long you'd cook it on higher.
