Ingredients

  • 1 pound baby heirloom carrots with tops
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup tahini
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons fresh mint chopped
  • 1/2 tablespoon agave
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 1/2 cup hazelnuts toasted and chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh mint chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place a sheet of parchment paper on a baking sheet and set aside.
  • Scrub the carrots well to remove dirt from the outside. Toss the carrots with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Place the carrots on the baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes depending on the size of the carrots. Bake until cooked through and tender but not mushy.
  • While the carrots are roasting you can make the sauce. In a food processor combine tahini, garlic, lemon juice, mint, agave, and water. Blend until combined. If the sauce is too thick add more water to reach the desired consistency.
  • Once cooked, remove the carrots from the oven. Arrange on a serving platter and top with the tahini sauce, hazelnuts and fresh mint.

Notes

  • Choose fresh, young carrots with their tops still on. They tend to be sweeter and more tender. Heirloom carrots with a range of color really makes this dish shine.
  • Give the carrots space to roast evenly and develop a nice caramelized exterior.
  • Letting it sit allows the flavors to meld, making it even more delicious when served.
