Ingredients
  

  • 1 lbs carrots - any kind will do - I use Nantes peeled and sliced in half lengthwise
  • olive oil
  • Kosher salt and fresh pepper
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint roughly chopped

Easy Tahini Dressing

  • 1 tbsp tahini
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • juice of a quarter lemon
  • 1 tbsp water
  • pinch of kosher salt and fresh pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  • Peel and slice carrots lengthwise. Place on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil, enough to lightly coat the carrots, and sprinkle a couple of pinches of kosher salt and fresh pepper. Use your hands to mix and ensure the carrots are evenly coated.
  • Roast at 425 degrees for 20-25 minutes, until tender when pierced with a fork, and browning. Flip the carrots at the roasting half point.
  • Once roasted, place in a serving bowl. Drizzle the tahini dressing over top and sprinkle a handful of roughly chopped fresh mint.

Easy Tahini Dressing

  • Add oil, tahini, lemon, water, and salt and pepper to a small mason jar with a lid and shake until well combined and smooth.
