Chipotle-Roasted Ba

• 30 thin baby carrots (2 to 3 bunches), tops discarded, carrots scrubbed
• 2 chipotle chiles in adobo, minced, plus 1 teaspoon of adobo sauce from the can
• 1 tablespoon unsulfured molasses
• 2 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Kosher salt

Freshly ground pepper

• 3 tablespoons sesame seeds
• 4 ounces watercress, stems discarded

Plain Greek yogurt, for serving

1. Preheat the oven to 350°. Toss the carrots on a rimmed baking sheet with the chipotles, molasses and 2 tablespoons of the olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Roast for 30 to 35 minutes, until the carrots are crisp-tender and browned. Transfer the carrots to a plate and let them cool completely.
2. Meanwhile, in a skillet, toast the sesame seeds over moderate heat, tossing, until golden, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt; let cool.
3. On the plate, toss the carrots with the 1 teaspoon of adobo sauce. Arrange the carrots on 6 plates and scatter the watercress on top. Garnish with the sesame seeds and serve with yogurt.
