Ingredients

  • 8 carrots topped
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1-2 teaspoon sweet paprika adjust quantity to preference
  • 1 tablespoon pomegranate arils
  • 1 tablespoon fresh herbs

For the tahini dressing

Instructions

  • Pre-heat the oven to 200C and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  • In a bowl add the carrots, olive oil, maple syrup and sweet paprika and coat the carrots thoroughly in the mixture.
  • Place the carrots on the lined baking tray and cook for 30-35 minutes, until fork tender. If the carrots are larger in size they may need a few more minutes.
  • Make the tahini dressing by adding the ingredients to a bowl and mixing thoroughly to form a creamy sauce. Add warm water to loosen the dressing to the consistency of your preference.
  • Arrange the roasted carrots on your serving plate. Drizzle over the tahini dressing and sprinkle over the pomegranate seeds and herbs (if using).

Notes

  • Remove leafy tops if your carrots have them. Trim so you have about half a centimetre of the top remaining.
  • Adjust the tahini dressing to preference with more tahini to thicken, and more water to thin.
  • Check the carrots are fork tender. If the carrots are on the larger side, they may need a few more minutes in the oven.
