Steam-Roasted Carrots with Orange Cumin Sauce

Preheat the pot over medium heat for about 2 minutes. Add olive oil and spread it evenly. Once the oil starts to smoke, place carrots cut side down and sprinkle with salt. Sear for 1 minute.

Cover and steam-roast over low heat for 5 minutes. Once browned, flip the carrots, cover, and steam-roast for another 5 minutes over very low heat.

Push the carrots to one side of the pot and add in the ingredients for Orange Sauce except for orange juice. Heat over medium heat for about 30 seconds until the garlic becomes fragrant. Pour in the orange juice and simmer for about 2 minutes, reducing the liquid by half. Once the sauce thickens, coat the carrots in it, then transfer to a plate. Top with orange peel and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
