Roasted Carrots, Apples and Sweet Potatoes with Cinnamon Tahini Drizzle

This is definitely not your average Thanksgiving side dish, but it's always good to switch things up a bit, right? We made these Roasted Carrots, Apples and Sweet Potatoes with Cinnamon Tahini Drizzle a few weeks ago for a dinner party and our guests loved it. We thought you might too!

It's pretty simple. We simply roast carrots, peeled apples and sweet potatoes in warming, fall spices like nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves. Then, we serve everything drizzled with a slightly sweet, nutty cinnamon tahini sauce.

Finally, plate the colorful dish on a large platter with fresh chopped herbs, nuts and sauce on the side so your guests can serve themselves. (I, for example, douse mine in tahini, but my dad prefers them plain!)

If these tahini-drizzled roasted carrots and sweet potatoes set you on a tahini binge, we totally get it. And we've got you covered with these delicious recipes to enjoy tahini any time of day:
