    Dukkah Roasted Carrots.

    What is Dukkah?

    Dukkah (doo-kah) is an Egyptian spice blend generally made of nuts, coriander, cumin, salt, and pepper. Some blends include fennel seeds or contain different nuts like hazelnuts, pistachios, and peanuts. When paired with extra-virgin olive oil and pita, it makes a great dipping spice. It can also be used for a variety of different dishes like fish or chicken.

    It has a coarse texture that adds a satisfying crunch to whatever you put it on and the spices add tons of flavor to any dish. For these dukkah roasted carrots, we used a premade mixture, but you can use homemade or whatever dukkah blend you can get your hands on.

    • Minimal Ingredients: Nearly everything in this recipe is made with pantry staples that you likely already have in your kitchen.

    Ingredient quantities are listed in the recipe card at the bottom of the post. Here you’ll find notes on why we chose certain ingredients as well as any substitutions.

    • Baby Carrots: Not to be confused with “baby-cut” carrots which are more of a snacking veggie.
    • Extra-Virgin Olive Oil: For drizzling on the carrots.
    • Dried Parsley: For a touch of earthiness.
    • Dukkah: We use a hazelnut blend we got at Fortnum and Mason, but you can use a peanut or pistachio blend.
    • Salt + Pepper: We use fine sea salt.
    • Honey: We like to add a drizzle of honey on top just before serving, but feel free to omit it.

    Step-by-Step Instructions

    This section provides a general overview as well as any pictures to guide you through the recipe. The full detailed recipe instructions are in the recipe card at the bottom of the post.

    STEP 1: Prep the carrots. Cut the tops off the carrots and save for another use. Wash and pat dry then place on a parchment lined baking sheet.

    STEP 2: Add the spices. Drizzle on the olive oil followed by the dried parsley, dukkah, salt, and pepper. Toss until well coated.

    STEP 3: Bake. Bake for 25-35 minutes at 400°F (205°C) or until tender when poked with a fork. The bake time depends on how thick your carrots are. Once they’re done, drizzle with honey and serve warm.

    Expert Tips

    • Don’t discard the carrot tops. They can be used in place of parsley in chimichurri or as a base for pesto. You can also use them as a garnish on salads or cocktails.
    • Use a butterknife to clean the base of the carrot tops. Sounds odd, but it works. To get that pesky dirt off, run the carrot under cold water and use a butterknife to scrape the top until the dirt comes off.

    FAQ

    Where can I find dukkah?

    We got ours at Fortnum and Mason, but you can find dukkah online or even at Trader Joe’s. If you really want to go all out, you can make your own.

    Are these dukkah carrots spicy?

    No. However, if you want a bit of spice, we recommend adding some red chili flakes or Aleppo pepper.

    • Carrot Tops: You can use the tops in place of parsley in chimchurri or in another sauce. They also make a unique cocktail garnish!
    • Washing: If you're finding it difficult to get the dirt off the base of the carrots tops, use a butter knife to scrape it off while running the carrot under cold water.
