Ingredients:

Serving

1 cup molasses , a thick and dark variety
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/4 cup ginger, freshly peeled and grated
1 tsp coriander seed
1/2 tsp cardamom pod
1/4 tsp nutmeg, fresh ground
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
5 lbs medium carrots, with long green stems
3/4 cup pine nuts, toasted
1/4 cup basil leaves, thinly sliced ( chiffonade)
1/4 cup mint leaf, thinly sliced ( chiffonade)

Directions:

Peel and wash the carrots. Trim the greens down to about 1-2 inches. I like to leave the greens on for color on the serving platter.
Lightly toast the coriander and cardamom pods. Grind in your spice grinder.
Whisk together first 9 ingredients in a large bowl. Add carrots to mixture and coat well.
Place carrots in 375 degree oven and roast until carrots are tender and liquids are reduced to a glaze. If needed during the cooking process add a little water and stir to prevent burning. The roasting process will take about 45-60 minutes.
Pull out of the oven and season with some salt and pepper.
Transfer carrots to a platter. Sprinkle pine nuts, basil, and mint over carrots to serve.
