Carrots make a super side—they are big on flavor and a breeze to cook. Plus, I can actually get my husband to eat these spiced veggies. —Taylor Kiser, Brandon, Florida

Health Tip: The fat in coconut oil will give these carrots a subtle coconut flavor. While this oil includes medium-chain triglycerides, their health benefits are still unproven, and coconut oil probably won’t help you shed pounds.
Editor's Note: You may substitute ground coriander and ground cumin (about 4 tsp. each) for the whole spices. Before using, toast ground spices in a dry skillet until aromatic, stirring frequently.
