Roasted Carrot Dip
This simple Roasted Carrot Dip contains just a handful of ingredients but is packed with so much delicious flavour. Sweet oven roasted carrots with garlic, tahini, and fresh lemon blended together to make a healthy and satisfying dip. It’s Vegan, Whole30 & Paleo!
I am classifying this Roasted Carrot Dip as a Fall recipe, but truthfully I seem to have an old bag of carrots buried at the back of my fridge all year round. That’s my first confession, my second is that the first time I made this dip, I was simply trying to use up leftovers from a roast chicken dinner.
I had an excessive amount of roasted carrots and decided to toss them in a blender with tahini and a few spices to create a dip rather then pretend I was looking forward to eating a massive container of leftover roasted carrots for the next 4 days.
The carrot dip turned out so well that I made it again a few days later from scratch by roasting the carrots and garlic in a bit of olive oil until golden in colour with a delicious caramelization around the edges. Once the carrots had cooled I tossed them into a blender with the remaining ingredients and voila, one very easy dip.
I have been eating my way through batch after batch of this dip with slices of cucumber, radishes and crackers. It’s a healthy snack that’s great to have ready in the fridge for when hunger hits. If you have any roasted carrots leftover from a roast dinner you can easily use them as well, just make sure that they are a golden brown in colour as that adds a delicious richness of flavour to the dip.
