Roasted Carrots with Tahini Sauce
Perfectly roasted carrots with tahini sauce are the perfect simple and delicious side dish to accompany any meal. I absolutely love roasted carrots on their own but when paired with this creamy garlic tahini sauce you truly get the most incredible flavor combination ever.
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1-1½ lb carrots, peeled
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp pepper
- slivered almonds, to garnish
- fresh parsley and dill, to garnish
Garlic Tahini Sauce
- 4-5 garlic cloves
- ¼ cup tahini
- 2 tsp apple cider vinegar
- salt and pepper, to taste
Equipment
- Baking sheet
- high speed blender or food processor
Instructions
- Preheat oven. Preheat oven to 400. Season carrots with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a greased baking sheet.
- Roast the carrots. Bake the carrots for about 20-25 minutes, tossing halfway through.
- Make the garlic tahini sauce. While the carrots bake, make the sauce. Add all ingredients to a high speed blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Slowly add cool water to thin until you reach your desired consistency. Set aside.
- Serve & enjoy roasted carrots with tahini sauce! Spread garlic tahini sauce on a plate then add the roasted carrots on top. Garnish with fresh herbs and slivered almonds.
Notes
- When choosing carrots, try to choose ones of equal diameter, and keep in mind smaller ones can be roasted whole, so I try to get these. If carrots are too thick or large, slice them in half lengthwise.
- For best results use a really smooth, runny tahini. I only use Soom Foods. Slowly add cool water to dressing until you reach your desired consistency.
- For the best carrots, garnish with fresh herbs and slivered almonds.
