A unique, flavor-packed healthy side dish, roasted carrots are here to support your every meal!
Ingredients
Roasted Carrots:
- 2 pounds carrots peeled and sliced
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil or olive oil
- 1 pinch sea salt
Orange-Ginger Sauce:
- 1 tablespoon sunflower butter see note*
- 1/2 cup avocado oil see note**
- 1/4 cup cider vinegar or rice vinegar
- 1/4 cup orange juice or lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 1 small clove garlic
- 1 2-inch nub fresh ginger, peeled
- 1 teaspoon pure maple syrup optional, see note***
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Spread the sliced carrots over a large baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt. Use your hands to toss everything together until well-coated. Roast 25 to 30 minutes, turning after 20 minutes, or until carrots are golden-brown and cooked through.
- While the carrots are roasting, prepare the sauce. Add the ingredients for the sauce to a blender and blend on high until completely smooth.
- Toss carrots in desired amount of dressing and serve alongside your favorite entrée. Note: You’ll end up with more sauce than you need. Store it in an air-tight container in the refrigerator and use it for dressing salads, roasted vegetables, and bowls.
Notes
*You can use tahini, almond butter, peanut butter, cashew butter, etc. – whatever you have on hand!
**Use your favorite oil for dressings – olive oil and almond oil work great too.
