This is such a perfect light meal, be it for lunch or dinner. And it packs so much flavor. The carrots are very crunchy, of course, and they pair so nice with the creamy and zesty tahini garlic sauce. Throw in a handful of fresh herbs as well, such as parsley, basil or coriander or whatever you wish, some sesame seeds and pine nuts too, mix it all up and be dazzled. It’s so simple to make (15 minutes beginning to end), yet so full of deliciousness.

  • 1 small garlic clove, grated

'Noodles'

DELICIOUS! One of the tastiest and most refreshing meals I’ve had in quite some time! I grew a bit weary of using my hand spiralizer and thought it might also be nice to have some variety in texture, so I combined my carrot spirals with some chickpea spaghetti for this dish. Plus, I did boil my pasta and carrot “noodles” to al dente and made a little extra sauce to soak everything up. I topped it with some fresh parsley, sesame seeds, and toasted pine nuts, plus a little bit of lemon zest. I also had some roasted lemon-garlic broccoli as a side. It was the perfect meal, and I even have leftovers! Definitely a recipe worth repeating.
