Throw a little maple syrup and heat on these tubers and...they become the absolute perfect side dish to kick off my annual Summer of Halloween, a dish I like to call, Roots of all Evil. 💀
Dare your guests to try one of these sweet maple roasted carrots smothered with a maple tahini sauce topped with crunchy pistachios and tart pomegranate seeds. An unusual, elegant and savory palette of flavors that belies the macabre exterior... Enjoy!
