INGREDIENTS:
ROASTED CARROTS:

Half tsp. salt
1 tbsp. olive oil
Quarter tsp. black pepper
SPICY MAPLE GLAZE:
2 tbsp. maple syrup
Half tsp. smoked paprika
1 tsp. sriracha sauce
Quarter tsp. garlic powder

1 tbsp. chopped parsley
GARNISH:

Half tsp. red pepper flakes
One tsp. sesame seeds
INGREDIENT NOTES:
CARROTS:
Carrots are the basic component that makes the sweet taste. They get tender inside while making delicious roasted edges. Also, carrots give vibrant color and excellent taste. You may use rainbow carrots as per your preference.
OLIVE OIL:
It roasts the carrots evenly and gives them a beautiful golden color. Olive oil helps them avoid drying out during cooking. Use sunflower oil as an alternative.
MAPLE SYRUP:
Maple syrup makes the sweet base of the glaze. It caramelizes slightly and covers the carrots with a glossy finish. You may use date syrup as another choice.
SRIRACHA SAUCE:
We use it to include heat and complexity in the glaze. This spicy taste maintains the sweetness of maple syrup and makes a delicious contrast. You may use chili garlic sauce as per your preference.
VEGAN YOGURT:
Vegan yogurt makes the creamy base of the sauce. Its tangy taste maintains the warmth and spice of the roasted carrots. Cashew cream is a good alternative if vegan yogurt is not available.
SESAME SEEDS:
They include a subtle nutty taste and a pleasant crunch. Sesame seeds make the look attractive. You may use hemp seeds as another choice.
INSTRUCTIONS:
First, warm the oven to 425°F & put baking paper on the sheet.
In a large bowl, toss carrots with salt, olive oil, and pepper.
Evenly coat all the carrots and spread them on the sheet in one layer with distance between them.
Roast the carrots for twenty minutes.
Combine maple syrup, smoked paprika, sriracha sauce, and garlic powder in a small bowl.
Put the sheet out of the oven and include the glaze evenly over the carrots.
Again, roast the carrots for ten minutes till they get tender.
In a small bowl, stir vegan yogurt, lemon juice, salt, and chopped parsley till the mixture is smooth.
Spread the yogurt sauce on the platter and arrange the warm glazed carrots on top.
Lastly, sprinkle parsley, sesame seeds, and red pepper flakes.
