Roasted Carrots with Tahini Yogurt

Need a delicious side dish recipe to keep up your sleeve? These Roasted Carrots with Tahini Yogurt, crispy quinoa, and pickled chili are a total crowd-pleaser! Simple and easy to make, this dish is full of wonderful chili citrus flavor, hearty texture, and vibrant color. It’s so good that I can eat this on its own, but you can serve it as a side dish or add some meat or chicken for a complete meal.

This recipe is vegetarian and vegan-adaptable and can be made as spicy as you like. How to make it vegan: Use maple syrup instead of honey, sub in vegan butter for dairy butter, and go for dairy-free yogurt instead of Greek yogurt. Use fewer chilies for a milder taste or the full amount if you like your dish to pack a punch.

To make the Roasted Carrots with Tahini Yogurt, you’ll need the following ingredients:

Steps to make Roasted Carrots with Tahini Yogurt

1	Preheat oven
Preheat the oven to 350 °F.
2	Prepare carrots	1
Cut larger carrots in half lengthwise so all carrots are relatively equal in size for even roasting. Place the carrots in a baking dish, drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil, and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
3	Roast	40
Roast the carrots for 30-40 minutes or until tender.
4	Prepare pickled chili	1
Meanwhile, make the pickled chili. To a bowl, add 1 thinly sliced chili, ½ teaspoon honey, and juice of 1 lime. Stir to coat, then set aside to pickle.
5	Make glaze: Brown butter	5
Towards the end of cooking time, make the glaze. Heat a small saucepan over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons butter. Cook the butter until brown.
6	Add honey, orange zest and juice	1
Stir in 2 tablespoons honey, orange zest and juice.
7	Add chili pickling liquid	1
Drain the chili pickling liquid and add it to the saucepan. Reserve the chilies.
8	Reduce glaze	5
Reduce the glaze until thickened.
9	Coat carrots with glaze	1
Remove the carrots from the oven. Pour the glaze over and toss to coat well.
10	Add quinoa	1
Push the carrots to one side of the dish and add 1 cup cooked quinoa to the other side of the baking dish. Toss the quinoa with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
11	Return to oven	10
Return to the oven and cook for 5-10 minutes or until the carrots are glossy and the quinoa is crispy.
12	Make tahini yogurt sauce	1
In the meantime, make the tahini yogurt sauce. Combine ½ cup Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon tahini, and 1 tablespoon chopped dill, and salt and black pepper to taste. Thin the sauce out with a little water if needed.
13	Assemble	2
Spread the tahini yogurt sauce over a serving plate. Top with the roasted carrots and finish with the pickled chili, quinoa, and extra chopped dill.
14	Serve
Serve and enjoy!
