Ingredients

Roasted Carrots:
  • 2 pounds carrots peeled and sliced
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil or olive oil
  • 1 pinch sea salt
Orange-Ginger Sauce:
  • 1 tablespoon sunflower butter see note*
  • 1/2 cup avocado oil see note**
  • 1/4 cup cider vinegar or rice vinegar
  • 1/4 cup orange juice or lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons Coconut aminos 
  • 1 small clove garlic

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Spread the sliced carrots over a large baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt. Use your hands to toss everything together until well-coated. Roast 25 to 30 minutes, turning after 20 minutes, or until carrots are golden-brown and cooked through.
  2. While the carrots are roasting, prepare the sauce. Add the ingredients for the sauce to a blender and blend on high until completely smooth.
  3. Toss carrots in desired amount of dressing and serve alongside your favorite entrée. Note: You’ll end up with more sauce than you need. Store it in an air-tight container in the refrigerator and use it for dressing salads, roasted vegetables, and bowls.
