Instructions

1 Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. In a large bowl, toss the prepared carrot pieces with 1 tablespoon of the extra virgin olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated. Spread the seasoned carrots in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
2 Roast the carrots in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork and have developed some caramelized edges. While the carrots are roasting, prepare the tahini dressing.
3 In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini, remaining 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic until smooth. Gradually whisk in 2-3 tablespoons of water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dressing reaches your desired drizzling consistency; it should be pourable but not too thin.
4 Once the carrots are roasted and tender, transfer them to a serving bowl. Drizzle the prepared tahini dressing generously over the warm carrots. Gently toss the carrots to ensure they are well coated with the creamy dressing.
5 Garnish the tahini roasted carrots with fresh chopped parsley just before serving. This vibrant side dish is best enjoyed warm, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully.

Tips & Notes

Tahini often seizes and thickens when the lemon juice goes in. Keep whisking and add the water a tablespoon at a time, and it turns smooth and pourable.
Stir the tahini jar well before measuring. The oil separates on top, and the paste at the bottom is too thick to whisk.
Make the dressing up to 4 days ahead and refrigerate it. It thickens when cold, so loosen it with a teaspoon of water before using.
