Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the carrot rounds with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/4 tsp turmeric, and 1/4 tsp salt on a rimmed baking sheet, spreading them in a single layer. Roast for 20–22 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until the edges are golden and the rounds are tender when pierced with a fork.

While the carrots roast, combine the ground beef, grated ginger, 1 tsp turmeric, cumin, 1/2 tsp salt, parsley, and cilantro in a large mixing bowl. Mix with your hands until the spices and herbs are evenly distributed throughout the meat — do not overwork.
