Ingredients

For Roasting

• 3 tbsp avocado oil
• 10 carrots, peeled and cut into 2cm slices
• 1 head garlic, peeled and crushed
• 25 g pumpkin seeds
• Salt
• Black pepper
• Cumin seeds

To Blend

• 2 tbsp olive oil
• Sesame seeds
• 3 tbsp tahini
• 3 tbsp nutritional yeast
• 1 tsp coriander seeds, toasted and crushed
• 1 tsp fennel seeds, toasted and crushed
• 1 lemon, juice and zest

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Peel carrots and a slice ¼ inch thick then place in a large mixing bowl.
3. Add peeled and crushed garlic.
4. Add salt, pepper, oil, seeds, and toss together. Lay mixture on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
5. Roast carrots in the oven for 30-40 minutes until al dente. They should be cooked but still have some resistance when poked with a pairing knife. Then allow them to cool to room temperature.
6. Place roasted carrots and all other ingredients into a food processor.
7. Pulse ingredients until crushed but still chunky.
