Looking for a tasty and lively accompaniment for your dinner? These garlic-and-herb roasted rainbow carrots served with a rich tahini yogurt sauce are your perfect match. The combination of distinct flavors in this dish won’t just liven up your dining table; it will also delight your palate!
To begin, turn on your oven to 400°F (200°C) and cover a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Ingredients:
- 1 lb (450 g) rainbow carrots, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
- 2 tbsp (30 ml) olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- Salt and pepper, to taste
For the tahini yogurt sauce:
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tbsp (30 ml) tahini
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper, to taste
To bring the dish to life, combine rainbow carrots with some olive oil, minced garlic, dried thyme and seasonings for an even coating. Once coated evenly, spread them in a single layer on your baking sheet and roast until they become tender and golden brown – approximately 25-30 minutes.
As the carrots are roasting, mix together Greek yogurt, tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt and pepper in a small bowl to prepare a flavorful tahini yogurt sauce. Once your roasted carrots are done cooking up their savory goodness – transfer them onto a serving dish and drizzle on the creamy tahini yogurt sauce! Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over top for that finishing bit of flair before enjoying right away.
Serve this side dish to four people and treat yourself to a delicious full meal. Grilled chicken or fish and a colorful salad pair perfectly with it, creating an exquisite dining experience that everyone in your family can enjoy! Bon appetit!
