Instructions

Working time approx. 5 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 20 minutes; Total time approx. 25 minutes

Toss the carrots and onion with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and roast at 200°C for about 20 minutes, or until the carrots are easily pierced with a fork. Then add all ingredients and a little more olive oil to a blender and blend until smooth. If needed, slowly add 0.5 to 1 cup water. It’s wonderful as a dip or spread.
