For a richer flavor, consider using smoked paprika in place of some of the cumin. A pinch of cayenne pepper can add a pleasant warmth to the dish. Fresh thyme sprigs can be used instead of dried, simply remove the stems before serving. Serve these carrots alongside grilled meats, couscous, or as part of a vibrant vegetable medley.
