Grilled Carrots with Cumin-Serrano Yoghurt

This vibrant dish of grilled carrots with cumin-serrano yoghurt offers a sophisticated twist on roasted root vegetables. By grilling the carrots alongside spring onions, you achieve a wonderful smoky char that perfectly complements their natural sweetness. It is a visually stunning side dish that brings a fresh, modern feel to a seasonal menu, making it an excellent choice for outdoor dining or a healthy midweek meal.

As part of a balanced nutrition plan, this recipe focuses on whole ingredients and bold flavours. The cooling Greek yoghurt base is spiked with zingy lime, fresh mint, and a gentle heat from the serrano chilli, providing a creamy contrast to the tender vegetables. High in fibre and rich in antioxidants, these carrots are as nutritious as they are delicious. Serve them as a light vegetarian main or alongside grilled proteins for a complete, wholesome feast.

How to make Grilled Carrots with Cumin-Serrano Yoghurt

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

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 or with mortar and pestle. Mix in a medium bowl with chopped serrano, yoghurt, lime juice, chopped mint, and remaining 2 tablespoons oil; season with salt.

Spoon yoghurt onto a platter; arrange carrots and onions over. Top with mint leaves and sliced chilli.

Yoghurt can be made 2 days ahead. Cover and chill.
