Instructions
1
Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
Roughly chop ½ lb carrots; place in a medium pot with broth and 1/2 tsp salt. Bring to a boil over high heat; reduce heat to low, cover and simmer until carrots are very tender, about 20 minutes. Transfer mixture to a food processor or blender; puree until smooth. Season to taste with salt (optional); set aside.
3
Meanwhile, halve remaining carrots lengthwise; set aside. Place 1/2 c yogurt in a large bowl with 1 tsp salt, garlic, ginger, curry powder, black pepper, red pepper flakes and cloves; whisk well to combine. Add reserved raw carrots to bowl; stir well to coat with yogurt mixture.
4
Place yogurt-coated carrots on prepared pan in a single layer; roast carrots, stirring halfway through cooking, until lightly browned and tender when pierced with a paring knife, about 25-30 minutes.
5
Just before serving, whisk orange zest and juice into remaining 1/2 c yogurt; season to taste with salt (optional).
6
To serve, place carrot puree on a large serving platter; use a spoon to smear it evenly around center of platter. Top with roasted carrots; dollop yogurt mixture over top. Sprinkle with cilantro and/or mint; serve immediately.
