Carrie Carroll: The tahini sauce is made in step two. Plain tahini is ground sesame seeds, similar to peanut butter, and it can be found in most grocery stores in the section with the nut butters or the international/Mediterranean section.

I don’t normally comment on recipes, but MY GOODNESS this was the most amazing dish. I can never have roast carrots on their own again. This is the best way to dress up something plain. The tahini sauce is AMAZING. The pomegranate is amazing. Add something crunchy (I used almonds) and toss a bunch of cilantro on there. And this is the most beautiful, delicious thing. Thank you!

Made these tonight. The sauce takes just a few minutes to put together so it’s a hands off dish that is DELICIOUS! even my husband who hates carrots loved it. He’s allergic to pistachios so I subbed in toasted sesame seeds.
