Just a little brown sugar helps the carrots to caramelize quickly so they’ll be beautifully browned, not sticky sweet. Thin, flat snow peas take just a few minutes to cook. If using sugar snap peas or green beans, trim and add to the pan during the last 8 or 10 minutes of baking.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon light brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper
  • 1 (12 oz.) pkg. small carrots
  • 1 3/4 cups snow peas
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
