Instructions

Roast the Carrots and Garlic: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss peeled carrots and whole garlic cloves with olive oil and a pinch of salt. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes until caramelized and tender. This step enhances natural sweetness and softens the garlic for creamy depth.
Blend the Ingredients: Transfer the roasted carrots and garlic to a food processor. Add tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed to achieve an even, creamy texture.
Adjust Consistency and Season: If the dip is too thick, add water or vegetable broth one tablespoon at a time until you reach the desired consistency. Taste and adjust salt, pepper, and lemon juice to balance the flavors perfectly. The dip should be luscious, vibrant, and well-balanced.

Notes

Roast carrots and garlic until deeply caramelized for maximum flavor.
Use fresh tahini to avoid bitterness and ensure rich nuttiness.
Roasting garlic whole mellows its pungency and adds a sweet aroma.
Add lemon juice gradually to maintain balanced acidity without overpowering.
Serve the dip slightly chilled or at room temperature for best flavor.
