Ingredients

2 teaspoons olive oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

2 pounds carrots, sliced diagonally 1/2 inch thick

1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest

2/3 cup water

Coarse salt

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Preparation

In a large nonstick skillet, heat olive oil over low heat. Add garlic cloves, and cook until tender, about 2 minutes. Stir in chili powder and ground cumin; cook 1 minute.

Add carrots, lemon zest, water, and coarse salt; bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer; cover, and cook until carrots are tender, 15 to 20 minutes.

Uncover, raise heat to high, and cook until any remaining liquid has evaporated, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in lemon juice, and serve.
