Roasted Carrots:
- 1 1/2 lbs carrots, scrubbed, trimmed ( thin carrots work best here)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds (or use ground)
- 1 teaspoon coriander seeds (or use ground)
Tahini Sauce:
- 1/4 cup thick tahini paste (stir it first)
- 3–4 tablespoons of water, more as needed
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon salt, more to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper, more to taste
Garnish:
- Dukkah
- Pistachios
- Aleppo chili flakes
- Parsley
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425F: Cut carrots so they are roughly equal in width- leaving thinner one’s whole. Place in a bowl and toss with olive oil, maple, salt, pepper, cumin seeds and coriander seeds, coating well.
- Roast the carrots: Spread out on a parchment-lined sheet pan, and roast until fork-tender at the thickest part, 20-30 minutes.
- Prepare the Tahini Sauce: In a small bowl whisk tahini and water until smooth. Add more water if needed to get it looser if needed. Add maple, salt, and pepper. Spread the Sauce out on a large plate or platter.
- Assemble the dish: When the carrots are tender, pile them up over the sauce. Sprinkle with Dukkah, pistachios, and fresh parsley.
Notes
- Leftover roasted carrots will keep 4 days in the fridge.
