Roasted Carrot and Herb Spread

Recipe from GillianIvy



I found this little spread/dip recipe at Eat Better America. It only takes about 10 mins prep time, then leave alone in the oven and then a whirr in the processor. Easy recipe for a mom with a complaining baby in a highchair. How I would love to finish all the dishes in one go.... Here it is: "Roasted Carrot Spread".

Roasted Carrot Spread


  • 2 lb Baby Carrots
  • 1 large Sweet Potato, peeled, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 Onion, cut into 8 wedges, separated
  • 3 tbsp. Olive Oil
  • 1 tsp. dried Thyme leaves
  • 2 Cloves Garlic, finely chopped
  • ¾ tsp. Salt
  • ¼ tsp. Ground Pepper
  • 2 loaves French Baguette Bread, each cut into 30 slices

    1. Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 15x10x1-inch pan with cooking spray. Place carrots, sweet potato and onion in pan. Drizzle with oil. Sprinkle with thyme, garlic, salt and pepper. Stir to coat.
    2. Roast uncovered 35 to 45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender.
    3. In food processor, place vegetable mixture. Cover; process until blended. Spoon into serving bowl. Serve warm, or cover and refrigerate until serving. Serve with baguette slices.

    This is so incredibly yummy! A must try, really. I made it with My Shepherd Pie, a perfect compliment. This spread is surprisingly sweet. The carrots with the garlic and sweet potato blend together so exquisitely. You will love this. And it's such a healthy spread, too. Perfect for parties, or just spreading on some wheat thins for healthy snacking.
