Roasted carrots + curry are such a match made in heaven. This is a variation on my curried carrot coconut soup, just an appetizer version! This is perfect with some toasty, buttery naan bread (I did not make my own – I’m not a baker at all!) If you’re in a pinch for time, you could try steaming the carrots instead, but I find that roasting the carrots develops their flavor and makes them really sweet and almost buttery tasting.
I used a curry spice blend from Trader Joe’s that is the perfect combination of sweet and spicy flavors (it has cumin, turmeric, coriander, chile pepper, mustard, cardamom, ginger, cloves, nutmeg, red pepper, cinnamon, black pepper, and saffron!)
Make this dip for your next party platter or to bring as an appetizer! Crackers, toast, naan, or a variety of raw veggies to dip in would be perfect. You could also add more coconut milk if you wanted to use this as a sauce, which would be great over a pasta!
