Maple Roasted Carrots with Tahini and Pomegranate

Carrots can be one of those vegetables that need a lot of work to change up. My kids are big fans of good old carrot sticks, so it takes a lot of convincing them to let me give carrots a new look and flavor! That said, these Maple Roasted Carrots with Pomegranate and Tahini always win them over. I wouldn’t say that I make this regularly at home, it’s more of an entertaining dish, but it’s always popular.

The neat thing about the carrots in this dish is that they get sweet when they roast, and the glaze provides that most delicious savory drizzle. I love dishes like this that take the tried and true and elevate it in the nicest way possible.

As you begin to think of holiday dishes, I encourage you to consider adding this recipe to the mix. It’s sophisticated enough to serve with any elegant meal and it’s a nice complement to heavier proteins like turkey and beef. It also works nicely when you have lots of guests because you can make these on a big sheet and plate them individually for a very elegant look.

This is such a fun and unexpected way to make carrots shine for the season. I hope you enjoy making them for your friends and family!
