Preheat the oven to 375ºF (190ºC). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Position an oven rack in the center position.

Drizzle the olive oil over the carrots. You can do this inside a large bowl or over the baking sheet. Rub the oil over the carrots to make sure that the surface area of the carrots are covered in oil.

Mix the za’atar and coriander inside a small bowl. Sprinkle about 2/3 of the spices over the carrots. Then, sprinkle in the salt.

Line the carrots around the baking sheet. Bake the carrots for 20 to 25 minutes, until they’re fork tender. If you are working with thin carrots (about 1/2 inch around the stem), the carrots will take about 20 minutes to cook. If you are working with carrots that are roughly 1 inch at the stem, they’ll take about 25 to 28 minutes. You can always slice the thicker carrots in half to speed up the cooking time. Rotate the carrots halfway through roasting so that one side doesn’t get too brown.

While the carrots are roasting, prepare the yogurt sauce by adding all of the ingredients to a bowl and mix well.

Once the carrots are done, sprinkle the rest of the za’atar and coriander mixture over them. Transfer the carrots to a serving plate. Drizzle the yogurt sauce on top. Sprinkle the chopped pistachios and chopped parsley over the carrots. Serve immediately.
