Ingredients

  • 1 Lb Whole Fresh Rainbow Carrots
  • 2 tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 1 teaspoon Sea Salt
  • 1 Pinch Black Pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Chopped Italian Parsley
  • 1 Pinch Maldon Sea Salt Flakes

Toasted Sesame Aioli

  • ½ Cup Mayonnaise (use avocado mayo or 1 ripe avocado to keep it vegan)
  • 1 teaspoon Toasted Sesame Oil
  • 1 tablespoon Trader Joe's Coconut Aminos (See Notes if using a different brand)
  • 1 teaspoon Fresh Lemon Juice
  • 1 pinch sugar- your choice which kind!

Instructions

Carrots

  • Preheat oven to 425℉
  • To cut the carrots into straws, cut off top stem of carrot. Next, cut the carrots in half the long way, then cut the halves in half again, or in thirds for larger carrots so that you have 4-6 carrot straws per carrot.
  • Place carrots on baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Drizzle the carrots with the olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Place in oven for 30 minutes until carrots are lightly browned and fork tender.

Toasted Sesame Aioli

  • Add all ingredients to a bowl and whisk them together until the sauce is smooth and creamy. That's it! Set it aside until you are ready to serve.
  • Drizzle aioli over carrots and then sprinkle with Italian Parsley and Flakey Sea Salt.
  • Serve and Enjoy!

Notes

Notes:

  • To keep this recipe vegan, use a very ripe avocado, or vegan mayo in place of the regular mayo.
  • This recipe is created using Trader Joes Coconut Aminos that have a lower sodium level than some others. If you use Bragg's, or other Coconut Aminos that has more than 300mg per tbsp, reduce coconut aminos to 2 teaspoon and add ½ teaspoon brown sugar. 
  • This dish makes a delicious appetizer too! To do this, serve the carrot straws next to a ramekin of Toasted Sesame Aioli for dipping!
  • Serve left over sauce in a sealed container in the fridge for up to a week. Stir or shake it up before serving.
