Roasted Carrots with Tahini Sauce

• 1/2 lb. fresh carrots
• 1 T. canola oil

Preheat the oven to 400° F.

Scrub the carrots well. Remove the ends and slice them into thin strips. Toss with the canola oil and seasonings (smoked paprika through salt) and arrange in a shallow baking dish.

Roast the carrots in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until they are slightly browned and softened. Place in a serving plate and drizzle generously with the tahini sauce immediately before serving.
