Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 1 lb fresh carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup tahini
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice, fresh
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3–4 tablespoons water or vegetable broth (to adjust consistency)

Spices & Seasonings

  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin (toasted for best flavor)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare and Roast the Carrots: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Peel and chop the carrots into evenly sized pieces. Toss them with a bit of olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread them on a baking sheet. Roast the carrots for about 25-30 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized around the edges.
  2. Blend the Ingredients: Once the carrots have cooled slightly, transfer them to a food processor. Add tahini, garlic, lemon juice, cumin, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Blend until smooth, gradually adding water or vegetable broth to reach your ideal creamy consistency.
  3. Adjust and Serve: Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed, adding more salt, lemon juice, or garlic if preferred. Transfer your Roasted Carrot Tahini Dip to a serving bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and garnish as you like.

Notes

  • Use fresh carrots for more natural sweetness and smoother texture after roasting.
  • Do not skip roasting; it intensifies the flavor far more than steaming or boiling.
  • Add liquid gradually to control the dip’s thickness perfectly.
  • Allow the dip to rest in the fridge for at least an hour before serving to let flavors meld.
  • Toast cumin in a dry pan before adding to enhance its aroma and flavor.
