I liked this.. I will make it again, but with less cinnamon and less cumin, and garlic becuase even for this garlic lover it was a little overpowering. The lemon, olive oil, paprika and parsley are good, but I wanted to taste more of the carrots as well. Personal taste is obviously everything and I will be happier to tone down parts of this for my own personal taste. That said, I will be making this again, becuase the basic type of taste is very refreshing. Please see my rating system: 3 stars for a recipe that I will be very happy to tweek to better suit our tastes. Thanks!

Yum! Wonder how it would be with lime juice instead of lemon ... may try that next time.

Very good. Didn't use paprika and cut back a little on the sugar and cinnamon (I prefer things spicy rather than sweet). Will definitely make this again.

Very flavorful. I thought there might be a bit too much cinnamon, so I cut it back to 1/2 tsp -- I think that worked better.

Thought this was fabulous! I used more garlic and more olive oil, and thought the combination of flavors was really scrumptious. Carrots were still a little too crunchy after 5 minutes, so I'd steam 'em for 6-7, I think. Thanks!
