Flavourful Roasted Carrots

INGREDIENTS 

10 carrots, scrubbed and peeled if desired
1 1/2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil, divided
Sea salt and ground pepper
1 clove garlic
1 Tbsp fresh ginger
1 Tbsp fresh dill, chopped
3 Tbsp plain yogurt 

DIRECTIONS

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

Cut the carrots in half first, then cut lengthwise into sticks. Toss them with about half a tablespoon of olive oil and with salt and pepper to taste. In a roasting pan, roast until tender (30 to 60 minutes, depending on the thickness of the sticks).

In the meantime, finely grate the garlic and ginger. Mix them with the remaining olive oil, the dill, and the yogurt. Use the back of a large spoon to crush the dill and ginger bits against the side of the bowl to release the flavours. Pour the sauce over the carrots and serve hot or at room temperature.
