Spiced Carrots with Tahini Sauce
Tahini sauce is a rich, flavorful addition to traditional spiced carrots.
Ingredients
- For the Carrots:
- 2 pound (908 g) carrots, peeled
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil, optional
- 2 teaspoons Garam Masala
- For the Tahini Sauce:
- 1 cup (240 ml) water
- ½ lemon, peeled
- 2 Tablespoons (30 ml) champagne vinegar
- 1 garlic clove
- ¼ cup (30 g) cashews, roasted
- ½ cup (60 g) sesame seeds, toasted
- 2 teaspoons Garam Masala
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt, optional
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
Directions
- Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C).
- For the Carrots: Toss peeled carrots with Garam Masala and oil. Spread onto a sheet tray and place in preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes or until carrots are browned and tender.
- For the Sauce: Place remaining ingredients into the Vitamix container in the order listed and secure the lid.
- Run the Dips & Spreads Program or start the blender on its lowest speed, then quickly increase to its highest speed. Blend for 60 seconds, using the tamper to push ingredients toward the blades.
- Serve roasted carrots drizzled with tahini sauce. Garnish with fresh herbs and toasted sesame seeds, if desired.
Chef's Notes
- The simple addition of tahini brings these carrots to life.
- These will be the star of the plate for both flavor and nutrition! The process of roasting the carrots actually increases our body’s ability to absorb their helpful nutrients like beta-carotene, which support healthy eyes.
- This tahini is unique in that it's made with cashews along with the traditional sesame seeds. Both of these ingredients contain protein, healthy fats, and fiber (key to helping you feel fuller longer) in addition to a wide array of other nutrients, making a super nutritious, plant-forward dish.
