Oh my.  These were so good!  Definitely a keeper recipe.  The sauce was yummy, too and could be used with other recipes, like a stir fry.



  • 1/2 pound carrots, peeled and trimmed, all about the same size - multi-colored are nice!
  • Broth
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • optional - 1/4 cup pomegranate arils - I didn't have these, but the original recipe calls for them and it could be a fun addition - BTW, arils is the fancy word for the little red fruits inside pomegranates





TAHINI SAUCE:
  • 1/4 cup tahini
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard - I used the Trader Joe's brand, which is my new fav
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

INSTRUCTIONs

  1. Preheat the oven to 390-ish degrees. 
  2. Marinate, soak or drizzle carrots with a bit of broth to get them moist.  Arrange them on a parchment lined baking tray. 
  3. Bake for 30-40 minutes or until the carrots are tender.  Check them towards the end - you don't want them to turn to mush.
  4. While the carrots are cooking, whisk together all of the sauce ingredients.
  5. Once the carrots are cooked, drizzle with sauce, top with pomegranate and parsley and serve.
