Can I make roasted carrots with maple tahini drizzle ahead of time?

Yes, you can roast the carrots in advance and store the drizzle separately. Reheat the carrots in the oven to maintain their texture before adding the drizzle just before serving.

Is this recipe vegan-friendly?

Absolutely! These roasted carrots with maple tahini drizzle use only plant-based ingredients like maple syrup and tahini, making it a perfect vegan side dish.

What if my tahini sauce seizes up?

Tahini sometimes thickens or 'seizes' when liquid is added. Simply keep whisking and add warm water one teaspoon at a time; it will eventually turn smooth and creamy.

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step 2: Toss the prepared carrots with olive oil, salt, and pepper directly on the baking sheet until evenly coated.
Step 3: Arrange the carrots in a single layer and roast for 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through, until tender and caramelized at the edges.
Step 4: While the carrots roast, whisk together the tahini, maple syrup, lemon juice, and garlic in a small bowl.
Step 5: Gradually add warm water to the tahini mixture until it reaches a smooth, drizzling consistency.
Step 6: Transfer the hot carrots to a serving platter, drizzle generously with the sauce, and garnish with fresh parsley.

Ensure your tahini is well-stirred before measuring to get the best sauce consistency.
