Instructions
- 1Put a steamer insert into a saucepan, and fill with 1 1/2 cups of water, or just below the bottom of the steamer. Cover, and bring the water to a boil over high heat. Add the sliced carrots, reduce the heat to medium, and cover the pan again. Steam until tender but not mushy, 4 to 6 minutes depending on the thickness of the slices. Reserve 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid.
- 2Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the salt, pepper, cinnamon, cumin, garlic, and thyme. Cook the spices and garlic, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 10 minutes. Add the 1/2 cup reserved cooking liquid and the bay leaf, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes.

Chef tips
To ensure the carrots perfectly absorb the cumin and garlic flavours, make sure to add the spices and seasoning while the carrots are still piping hot, right after boiling and draining. Kids can help peel the carrots or gently stir the sauce before the dish goes into the fridge to marinate.
