Ingredients
1 pound carrots
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Salt and pepper to taste
Tahini Sauce
1/4 cup tahini
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tablespoons water (adjust as needed)
Salt to taste
Directions
-
Preheat your oven to 425°F.
-
Peel the carrots and cut them into 1-inch equal-sized pieces.
-
In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, honey, cumin, cinnamon, salt, and pepper.
-
Add the carrots to the bowl and toss until they are coated with the mixture.
-
Place the carrots on a baking sheet in a single layer.
-
Roast the carrots in the preheated oven for about 25 to 30 minutes, or until they are tender and caramelized. Stir once or twice during cooking to ensure even roasting.

While the carrots are roasting, prepare the tahini sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, water, and salt until it is smooth and creamy. Adjust the consistency by adding more water if needed.

Once the carrots are ready, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.

Drizzle the tahini sauce over the roasted carrots or serve it on the side for dipping.

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley or sesame seeds if desired.
