Kosher salt

1½ tsp(s)

Plain lowfat Greek yogurt

1 cup(s), 2%, divided

Garlic clove

4 clove(s), medium, minced

Minced ginger

1 tbsp(s)

Curry powder

1 tbsp(s)

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.
