Ingredients:

3 carrots
180g
1 tbsp olive oil
14g
1 tsp cinnamon
3g
1 tsp maple syrup
5g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare Carrots: Wash and peel the carrots. Cut them into small, uniform pieces to ensure even cooking.
3. Roast Carrots: Place the carrot pieces on a baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, making sure they are evenly coated. Spread the carrots out in a single layer on the baking sheet.
4. Bake: Roast the carrots in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized. Turn them halfway through the roasting time to ensure they cook evenly.
5. Cool Down: Once the carrots are roasted, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly for a few minutes.
6. Blend: Transfer the roasted carrots to a food processor or blender. Add 1 teaspoon of cinnamon and 1 teaspoon of maple syrup.
7. Process: Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy. If the dip is too thick, you can add a little water or additional olive oil, a teaspoon at a time, until you achieve the desired consistency.
8. Taste and Adjust: Taste the dip and adjust the seasoning if necessary. You can add a pinch of salt, more cinnamon, or more maple syrup as per your preference.
9. Serve: Transfer the Sweet Spiced Carrot Dip to a serving bowl. You can serve it warm or at room temperature.
10. Garnish (Optional): For an extra touch, garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a drizzle of maple syrup.

Tips:

- Cut the carrots into uniform pieces to ensure they cook evenly.

- Roast the carrots in the oven instead of boiling them to enhance their natural sweetness and add a slightly smoky flavor.

- Blend the dip until smooth for a creamy texture, or keep it slightly chunky if you prefer a bit more bite.

- Adjust the amount of cinnamon and maple syrup to suit your taste preferences.

- Garnish the dip with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a drizzle of olive oil before serving for an extra touch of flavor and presentation.

In just a few simple steps, you can create a delicious sweet spiced carrot dip that’s both nutritious and flavorful. Serve it with your favorite veggies, crackers, or even use it as a spread for sandwiches. Enjoy the blend of sweet and spicy flavors, and watch it become a favorite at your table!
