Ingredients
- 1 pound carrots
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3/4 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Honey to taste, optional

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Peel and slice the carrots into 1/4-inch thick slices.
- In a large bowl, toss the carrots with olive oil, chili powder, paprika, ground cumin, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. If using, drizzle some honey over the carrots and toss once again.
- Arrange the carrots in a single layer on the baking sheet and roast for 18 to 23 minutes, tossing once halfway through, until they are tender and lightly caramelized.
- Remove the carrots from the oven. Drizzle with lemon juice (if desired) and garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.
