Ingredients
1 pound carrots
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Salt and pepper to taste
Tahini Sauce
1/4 cup tahini
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tablespoons water (adjust as needed)
Salt to taste
Directions
-
Preheat your oven to 425°F.
-
Peel the carrots and cut them into 1-inch equal-sized pieces.
-
In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, honey, cumin, cinnamon, salt, and pepper.
-
Add the carrots to the bowl and toss until they are coated with the mixture.
-
Place the carrots on a baking sheet in a single layer.
-
Roast the carrots in the preheated oven for about 25 to 30 minutes, or until they are tender and caramelized. Stir once or twice during cooking to ensure even roasting.
-
While the carrots are roasting, prepare the tahini sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, water, and salt until it is smooth and creamy. Adjust the consistency by adding more water if needed.
-
Once the carrots are ready, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
-
Drizzle the tahini sauce over the roasted carrots or serve it on the side for dipping.
-
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley or sesame seeds if desired.
