Personally, I'm always happy about quick side dish recipes that I can serve with any kind of dish.

And with these side dish carrots, you have not only found a delicious recipe, but also one where you do not have to spend hours in the kitchen.

And for Thanksgiving or Christmas, is not that what we want?

We want to spend time with our loved ones instead of spending hours in the kitchen. And this recipe will make sure you have the time.

Ingredients

You only need a handful of ingredients to make such a great dish, and most of the ingredients you might even have in stock like me.

The exact quantities are in the recipe card below.

Carrots

Tahini

Lemon

Maple syrup

Sea salt and pepper

Nutmeg and cinnamon

Thyme

Cardamom

Parsley or herbs for garnish

Instruction

Carefully wash the carrots so you do not have to peel the carrots. Now look for a sufficiently large pan or baking sheet that fits in the oven.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and prepare the glaze. To do this you mix all the ingredients for the glaze and carefully coat the carrots.

Now put the carrots on the baking sheet or pan lined with baking paper and bake the carrots until soft. This can take about 15 minutes. For this I usually stab with a knife to see if they are soft.

The tahini maple-glazed carrot side dish is now finished.

Why not peel the carrots?

For one thing, all the carrots vitamins are hidden under the skin.

On the other hand, you want the skin on the carrot because the peel has the main sweetness of the carrots.

And isn't it great that you have so much less work in preparation?

What can I use instead of Tahini?

If you do not want to use tahini for whatever reason, you can of course replace it.

Instead of tahini, you can use other nut butters, such as cashew or almond.

Storage

We often have leftovers of these side dishes and usually eat them within 3-4 days.

You can also freeze the carrots if you want. That's up to you. Just bake the carrots in the oven again.

Are carrots healthy?

Carrots are even very healthy for you. And often these are neglected in the selection of go-to vegetables.

Carrots are full of minerals and vitamins and can contribute to a healthy or healthier life. For example, carrots are full of beta carotene, which is converted by the body into vitamin A.

Vitamin A protects the eye, and improves skin and mucous membrane health. Carrots are full of fiber, which are well-tolerated, thanks to the composition.

Other minerals and vitamins:

• Potassium
• Manganese
• Vitamin K
• Vitamin C
• Biotin
