Delicious served warm, or cold the next day, this cooked carrot salad highlights the veggie’s sweet nature by concentrating it during caramelization. Thick slices help keep each morsel bite-worthy even after they’ve reduced during baking. Orange zest comes in to add a fruity flair, but the sprinkle of cumin (seconded by cayenne) is definitely what sets the tone.
