Grilled Carrots With Miso-Tahini Dressing

MISO TAHINI DRESSING

• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Tahini
• 1 tablespoon water (if Tahini is thick like peanut butter)
• 1 tablespoon miso paste
• 1 teaspoon Sambal Oelek

INGREDIENTS

• 2 tablespoons neutral oil with a high smoke point, like rice bran, grapeseed or canola
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup
• ½ tablespoon chili paste like Sambal Oelek
• 1 clove garlic, minced or grated
• 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
• 1 pound whole carrots, rinsed and scrubbed
• kosher salt, to taste
• a handful of cilantro, chopped, as garnish

1. Make miso tahini dressing. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together ingredients from rice vinegar to Sambal Oelek and set aside.
2. Preheat grill to medium heat (350-400°F) with a Broil King Grill Wok or Roaster Basket.
3. Meanwhile, combine oil, honey, chili paste, and rice vinegar in a large mixing bowl. Toss whole carrots in the mixture and season with a sprinkling of salt.
4. Roast carrots in the Grill Wok or Roaster Basket for 25-30 minutes, occasionally flipping, until nicely charred and tender. Be sure to maintain a steady temperature and err on the side of lower heat to avoid scorching.
5. Serve with miso tahini dressing and chopped cilantro on a platter. Season with salt to taste.
