These carrots are sweet and creamy (thanks to the tahini sauce.)

These carrots are so good that I often double them because they disappear quickly.
Main ingredients:
- Carrot. Feel free to use regular or baby carrots for this recipe. If using regular carrots, cut them into 3-inch sticks. Smaller carrots will probably require a slightly shorter roasting time.
- honey I love how the honey caramelizes and gets a little sticky on the carrots.If you want to keep this vegan, use maple syrup instead.
- Spices. I always add coriander, cumin, salt and pepper to my carrots. Other spices are nice too, any Middle Eastern or Mediterranean blend would be great.
- Tahini sauce. I’ve included the details for making my favorite tahini sauce. It’s dairy-free and so creamy. All you need is tahini, garlic, olive oil, and hot water. It’s easy and takes just a few minutes to make.
