Oven Roasted Carrots With Tahini Dressing Recipes

OVEN-ROASTED CARROTS WITH TAHINI DRESSING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• Peel and slice carrots lengthwise. Place on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil, enough to lightly coat the carrots, and sprinkle a couple of pinches of kosher salt and fresh pepper. Use your hands to mix and ensure the carrots are evenly coated.
• Roast at 425 degrees for 20-25 minutes, until tender when pierced with a fork, and browning. Flip the carrots at the roasting half point.
• Once roasted, place in a serving bowl. Drizzle the tahini dressing over top and sprinkle a handful of roughly chopped fresh mint.

TAHINI-GLAZED CARROTS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 425 degrees. Place carrots on a large rimmed baking sheet and toss with the oil, salt and cumin. Roast carrots for 15 minutes, then turn them and continue roasting until they are golden at the edges and tender, 12 to 15 minutes longer.
• While the carrots are roasting, make the tahini glaze: In a medium bowl, whisk together the oil, tahini, 3 tablespoons lemon juice, silan, cayenne, salt and 1 tablespoon water until smooth. Whisk in 1 to 2 more tablespoons water until you have a thick but pourable sauce. Taste and add more salt or lemon juice, or both, if you like.
• Transfer the carrots to a platter and drizzle with the tahini glaze, tossing the carrots to coat.

CUMIN ROAST VEG WITH TAHINI DRESSING

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Tip all of the vegetables into a large roasting tin. Add the cumin seeds, oil and balsamic vinegar, then toss together. Roast for 45-50 mins until the veg is tender and starting to char.
• Meanwhile, mix the tahini and peanut butter with the lemon juice, coriander, garlic and about 4-5 tbsp water to make a dressing.
• When the veg is ready, leave to cool a little. Add the mint, coriander, lemon zest and chickpeas, then toss well.
• If you're following our Healthy Diet Plan, serve two portions now with the eggs, some dressing and half the spinach, then serve the remainder on another day without the eggs.
