Ingredients

700g carrots (roughly chopped)

2tbsp olive oil, plus 1tsp to drizzle

2tsp ground cumin

2tbsp tahini

Juice ½ lemon

Method

Preheat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6.

Put the carrots on a baking tray and toss with 1tbsp oil and the cumin. Roast for 20-25 mins or until tender, adding the garlic for the last 15 mins.

Leave the garlic to cool a little then squeeze out the flesh into a processor. Add the carrots, tahini, lemon juice, 2tbsp olive oil and some black pepper. Whiz until puréed – but don’t over-blitz.
