Dinner Party Recipes – Flavorful Balsamic Carrots

Ingredients

• 1 lb baby carrots, peeled
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
• to taste salt and pepper
• optional fresh thyme for garnish
• 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons tahini
• zest of 1 orange
• juice of 1/2 orange
• 1 teaspoon maple syrup
• to taste salt

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. In a large bowl, toss the baby carrots with balsamic vinegar, olive oil, honey (or maple syrup), salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
3. Spread the coated carrots on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and caramelized, tossing halfway through for even cooking.
4. While the carrots are roasting, prepare the orange tahini yogurt. In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, tahini, orange zest, orange juice, maple syrup, and a pinch of salt. Mix well until smooth; adjust seasoning to your preference.
5. Once the carrots are finished roasting, remove them from the oven. Transfer them to a serving platter. Drizzle the orange tahini yogurt generously over the warm carrots.
6. If desired, sprinkle fresh thyme leaves on top for an extra pop of flavor and color.
