Ingredients
Scale
Roasted carrots
- 1-2 lbs carrots
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Harissa aioli
- 1/4 cup mayo (store-bought or homemade)
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 garlic clove, minced or grated
- 1 tablespoon harissa paste
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400.
- Wash carrots really well and dry. I don’t peel my carrots, but you can if you’d like to. Toss with 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Arrange on a baking sheet in a single layer and take for 30-40 minutes, turning once, until cooked through and caramelized. The time will depend on the size of your carrots, so start checking around 20 minutes or so.
- While carrots roast, make the harissa aioli: Combine 1/4 cup mayo, 1/4 cup olive oil, 1 grated garlic clove, 1 tablespoon harissa paste and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Whisk really well to combine and emulsify. Alternatively, you can blend everything together in a blender or food processor.
- Remove carrots from oven and drizzle with harissa aioli, or pour into a small bowl for dipping.
- These are great hot or at room temperature!
