Ingredients
For the carrots:
- 10-12 carrot medium-sized
- 1 teaspoon Coriander
- 1/2 teaspoon fenugreek seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika ground
- 1/2 teaspoon garam masala
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 6 leaves sage
- 2 teaspoons ginger grinded fresh
- salt
- black pepper
For the cashew feta dip:
- 100 grams cashew nuts or 1 cup cashew nuts
- 80 grams feta cheese or 5 tablespoons ground coconut
- 1 clove garlic
- 5-6 tablespoons Greek yogurt or coconut milk
- salt
- black pepper
Instructions
To make the roasted carrots:
- Preheat the oven to 180 ºC or 355 ºF.
- Wash your carrots. If you have young carrots, they don't need to be peeled. Otherwise, peel them. I left small tail leaves, as they are beautiful and give their flavor while roasting. Cut each carrot in halves lengthwise.
- Over medium-high heat, dry-roast coriander, fenugreek seeds in a pan for about 1 minute or until aromatic. Process in a spice grinder or use a mortar and a pestle to make powder. Chop garlic and sage. In a bowl, combine coriander and fenugreek powder with paprika, garam masala, honey, olive oil, ginger, salt and pepper.
- Put carrots in a baking dish and pour the spicy mixture over them. Massage it into carrots until they are evenly coated. Put them in the oven for 30-40 minutes. The smaller your carrots are, the less time they need. If you like them to be more tender and caramelized, give them more time. Check the readiness with a fork.
To make the cashew feta dip:
- Meanwhile, prepare the dip. With a mortar and a pestle, crush cashew nuts. Break feta with your fingers (if not vegan. Otherwise, use coconut flakes). Finely chop garlic. Combine in a bowl and add as much Greek yoghurt or coconut milk until you like the consistency. Taste and add black pepper and a pinch of salt if desired.
- Serve carrots topped with cashew dip. Enjoy!
