Ingredients

  • 1 lb heirloom carrots
  • 2 tbsp harissa paste
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 cup tahini
  • 1/4 cup greek yogurt
  • 1 lemon juiced
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • 2 tbsp toasted pistachios
  • 1 tbsp fresh cilantro

Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2
Scrub the heirloom carrots clean, leaving an inch of the green stems attached for a rustic presentation.
3
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the harissa paste, honey, and two tablespoons of olive oil.
4
Toss the carrots thoroughly in the glaze until evenly coated, then spread them onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
5
Roast for 25-30 minutes until tender and caramelized at the edges.
6
While the carrots roast, prepare the base by whisking the tahini, greek yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, and a splash of water until you achieve a silky, pourable consistency.
7
To serve, spread the whipped tahini generously across a flat platter.
8
Arrange the hot, glazed carrots over the sauce, and garnish with crushed toasted pistachios and fresh cilantro for a final pop of texture and brightness.
