Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large carrots
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon liquid smoke
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel the carrots and cut them lengthwise into thin slices, about 1/4-inch thick, resembling salmon fillets.
In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, olive oil, honey, liquid smoke, lemon juice, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper.
Place the carrot slices in a shallow dish or a large resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the carrots are well coated with the marinade.
Let the carrots marinate for at least 10 minutes, turning occasionally to absorb the flavors.
Arrange the marinated carrots in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and slightly caramelized.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes.
Transfer to a serving platter, sprinkle with fresh dill and sesame seeds before serving.
Serve warm as a main dish or as a flavorful addition to salads or grain bowls.
