Equipment

  • baking sheet
  • Large bowl
  • Whisk

Ingredients
  

Maple Roasted Carrots

  • 16 pieces baby/Dutch carrots washed, tops and bottoms trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ¼ teaspoon ground coriander
  • teaspoon cinnamon (small pinch)
  • teaspoon cayenne pepper (small pinch)
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Chimichurri

  • ½ cup flat-leaf parsley finely chopped (measured when chopped)
  • 1 clove garlic finely minced
  • ¼ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon chili flakes (or sub fresh chili)
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • tablespoons lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Whipped Tahini Yogurt

  • ¼ cup hulled tahini
  • 1 cup dairy-free yogurt (such as Coyo natural coconut yogurt)
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • ½ teaspoon salt

For serving

  • 2 tablespoons pine nuts
  • Warm bread for scooping (optional)

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). In a large bowl, toss the cleaned carrots with olive oil, maple syrup, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, and salt until evenly coated.
  • Spread carrots in a single layer on a baking sheet. Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet – use two sheets if needed. Roast for 25-30 minutes, until fork-tender and slightly caramelized on the edges with crispy spots. Add the pine nuts to the baking tray 5 minutes before the carrots are done to toast them.
  • While carrots roast, combine finely chopped parsley, finely minced garlic, oregano, chili flakes, olive oil, lemon juice, and salt in a bowl. Mix well and set aside.
  • In a bowl, whisk together tahini, dairy-free yogurt, lemon juice, maple syrup, and salt until smooth and creamy.
  • Spread the whipped tahini yogurt on a large platter. Arrange the roasted carrots on top, drizzle with about ⅓ of the chimichurri, and sprinkle with toasted pine nuts.
  • Serve immediately with warm bread for scooping or on its own.

Notes

Use carrots that are similar in size so they bake evenly. All components can be prepared ahead of time. Extra chimichurri can be stored in the fridge for 4-5 days.
