Ingredients
- 2 lbs whole rainbow carrots (with tops)
- 1 tbsp avocado oil ( or olive oil)
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 cup tahini
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic (minced (or use 1/2 tsp garlic powder))
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp avocado oil (or olive oil)
- 1/4 cup water (as needed)
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley (chopped)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425F.
- Wash carrots thoroughly, removing any dirt from the surface. Dry completely.
- Toss carrots with avocado oil and salt. Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast the carrots at 425F for 15-20 minutes, flipping half way through. Carrots should be tender and lightly browned on the edges.
- While the carrots are cooking, combine tahini, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and oil in a bowl. Steam in up to 1/4 cup of water to thin out the sauce to your desired consistency.
- Drizzle the lemon tahini sauce over the carrots for serving. Top with chopped fresh parsley.
Notes
- I used rainbow carrots in this recipe, but you can also use any type of carrots you would like (regular orange carrots, baby carrots, etc.) - You will need to adjust the cooking time accordingly depending on the size of the carrots.
- If you wish, you can chop off the tops of the carrots or purchase carrots that already have them cut off. I like the look and presentation of the tops, so I left mine on.
