Recipe

yield: about 1 1/2 cups

Ingredients

3 medium carrots, peeled and cut into 4 inch pieces

2 cloves garlic

2 Tbsp avocado oil

1/4 teaspoon ground coriander

1/4 teaspoon ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon Harissa*

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 Tbsp tahini

2 Tbsp plain Greek yogurt

1 Tbsp lemon juice

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

2. In a medium bowl, toss carrots with garlic, 1 Tbsp oil, coriander, and cumin. Spread seasoned carrots onto a sheet pan and roast in the oven until carrots are tender, 25-30 minutes.

3. Once cool enough to handle, combine carrots with remaining ingredients in a food processor until completely smooth. May add a small amount of water to adjust consistency.

*Harissa is a smoky, spicy blend of chilis, herbs, and spices. It is usually in the form of a paste, but may also be found as a dry seasoning.
