Roasted Butternut Squash & Carrot Tershi

1 hr 5 min
20 min prep
45 min cook

Serves 6

Ingredients

  • 10 oz Butternut Squash, diced
  • 2 cups Baby carrots, ends trimmed and carrots diced
  • 1 tsp Fresh lemons, zest, plus 2 tbsp of lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp Caraway seeds
  • 1/4 cup Extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp Ground cumin
  • 1 tbsp Peeled Garlic Cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp Crushed red pepper flakes, or left out if preferred less spicy

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375˚F.
  2. In a bowl toss vegetables with lemon zest, caraway seeds and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Place on a sheet pan and roast until soft and slightly caramelized. Approximately 45 to 50 minutes.
  3. In a small sauté pan add olive oil, cumin, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Set over medium heat and stir-fry until garlic just starts to change color and mix is very fragrant.
  4. Remove from heat and add contents of sauté pan to food processor, then add roasted vegetable mixture and lemon juice. Puree everything together until smooth. Season to taste and remove to a bowl.
  5. Serve tershi with a little yogurt on top along with some fresh herbs if desired. Can be utilized as a side dish or as a dip for bread or rolls.
  6. Chef's Note: I like to add a serrano pepper to garlic mixture while cooking to give tershi extra heat and flavor. Puree with other ingredients.
