Ghee Roasted Carrots With Mint Basil Sauce
serves 4 adjust servings
Ingredients
Carrots
- 8 large carrots, peeled
- 1 Tbs. ghee
- salt + pepper, to taste
Sauce
- 3 sprigs fresh mint
- 1/4 bunch of basil
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1/4 tsp. salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Peel the carrots and toss them with the ghee, salt and pepper. They should be coated evenly. Lay the carrots out evenly onto the parchment lined baking sheet and bake for one hour, pausing to flip them at the 30 minute mark. If your carrots are smaller, they may need less time. Simply assess their doneness at the 30 minute mark and work from there.
- While your carrots are baking, make your sauce. Add the mint, basil, olive oil, lemon juice and salt into a food processor and process until it is a green oil. Set aside.
- After the carrots are cooked through, remove them from the oven and drizzle with the sauce. Serve warm, and enjoy!
