Roasted Carrots And Asparagus With Goma Dressing
Description
Roasted Carrots and Asparagus with Goma Dressing starts with evenly cut carrot sticks and asparagus pieces tossed separately in vegetable oil, salt, and pepper, and roasted at 375°F. Carrots roast first for 10 minutes, then asparagus is added to roast together for an additional 10 minutes until both vegetables are tender and lightly caramelized.
The Goma dressing is prepared by toasting sesame seeds until golden and fragrant, then grinding them to a coarse flour. Soy sauce and mirin are added to create a rich, nutty, and slightly sweet dressing that complements the roasted vegetables’ natural sweetness.
This dish is served by drizzling the Goma dressing over the warm roasted vegetables, offering a balance of textures and flavors — the tender roast and the crunchy sesame seeds in the dressing. The amount of soy sauce and mirin can be adjusted to personal taste due to their saltiness and sweetness.
Ingredients
Roasted Vegetables
- 2 c carrot
- 2 c asparagus
- 2 tablespoon vegetable oil
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Goma Dressing
- 4 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 4 teaspoon soy sauce
- 2 tablespoon mirin Or 1.5 tablespoon brown sugar with 2 teaspoon water
Instructions
Roast Carrots And Asparagus
- Preheat oven to 375'F. Peel and trim carrots, cutting into sticks that are approximately ½" x 5" or similar thickness to your asparagus. Toss with 1 tablespoon oil, spread on a baking sheet and put in oven for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, trim woody ends off asparagus and cut in half to match the length of the carrots. Toss with remaining tablespoon of oil and after carrots have roasted 10 minutes, add asparagus and roast 10 more minutes.
Goma Dressing
- Toast sesame seed in a small pan set over medium heat. Stir or toss frequently to prevent scorching. Once they start to toast, they will toast fast. This should take approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Pour toasted sesame seeds into mortar and start stirring and grinding them with the pestle. Alternatively, you can add these to a small food processor and pulse. Grind seeds until they are a coarse, floury texture.
- Add in soy sauce and mirin, stirring to combine. Goma recipe is finished but you can season to taste with a little extra sweet (mirin) or salty (soy) if desired.
Assembly
- Arrange carrots and asparagus on a serving platter or individual plates. Top with goma dressing and serve, garnishing with extra sesame seeds, assorted greens or edible flowers if desired.
Notes
- Toast sesame seeds carefully to avoid burning; they toast quickly once heating starts.
- Adjust soy sauce and mirin gradually because they have strong salty and sweet flavors.
