Ingredients
- 1.5 lb carrots
- 1 tbsp olive oil
For the tahini sauce
- 2 tbsp Greek yoghurt (plain)
- 2 tbsp tahini paste
- ½ lemon (juice of)
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 garlic clove (minced into a puree)
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Other ingredients
- 2 tbsp parsley (or mint, dill or cilantro)
- 2 tbsp toasted pine nuts (or slithered almonds or pistachios)
- black pepper
- extra virgin olive oil (optional)
- red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
To Roast the carrots
- Preheat the oven to 200ºC/400ºFArrange the carrots on a baking sheet and drizzle with a little olive oil (about 1tbsp) and a light sprinkle of salt. Toss the carrots around to ensure they’re coated in a little oil.Roast in the oven for 30-40 minutes, turning a couple of times to ensure they get a nice char. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly.
To make the tahini sauce
- While the carrots are roasting, whisk together the yoghurt, tahini paste, lemon juice, salt, minced garlic and extra virgin olive oil. Water down the sauce with 2-3 tbsp water to a creamy, but just pourable consistency (like whipping/double cream).
Finishing the dish
- In a dry frying pan, lightly toast the pine nuts and set aside.When the carrots are cooked and cooled a little, arrange them in a single layer on a platter and then drizzle over some of the tahini sauce. Scatter over the pine nuts and then sprinkle generously with the parsley. Season with black pepper and then finally add a few light drizzles of extra virgin olive oil and a pinch of red pepper flakes (if using).Serve hot or at room temperature with the remaining tahini sauce for guests to add is they wish.
