A refreshing snack, a healthy appetiser or a bit of texture to the side of your meal. These carrots go with everything and make eating veg fun. For your terrace BBQs and cold next-day leftovers, this is why Roasted Tahini Carrots are ATTIKA’s recipe of this month.
* Fresh carrots
* olive oil– that isn’t bitter
* maple syrup/honey/agave.
* spices: cumin seeds and coriander seeds use the whole seeds for texture.
* Salt and Pepper
* Tahini paste
* maple syrup
* Salt and pepper
* Garnishes: Dukkah, Toasted Pistachios, Parsley or Cilantro, Chili flakes
No need to peel fresh carrots—just give them a good wash or scrub. Trim the ends and halve any larger ones lengthwise to ensure they cook evenly. If your carrots are more than an inch wide, slice them in half to speed up the cooking process.
Mix the carrots with olive oil, maple syrup, cumin, coriander seeds, salt, and pepper. Spread them out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Roast them at 200 degrees and check them at 20 minutes to see they are crisp and not burnt. Try to leave them 25-30 minutes.
On a large plate spread about 2/3 of the Maple Tahini Sauce. Place the roasted carrots over the sauce and sprinkle the rest of it over top.
Sprinkle the carrots with Dukkah and toasted pistachios. Add some chilli flakes for a hint of heat that complements the sweetness. Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro.
