Roasted Carrots and Beets with Tahini Yogurt and Pistachios

A tasty fall side, that’s super easy to make and totally vegan! Yay! It’s all about these Roasted Carrots and Beets with Tahini Yogurt and Pistachios.

I’ve already got you covered on the meat quota for Rosh Hashanah with these 25 Brisket Recipes (my favorite: definitely this bourbon and coffee braised brisket with cranberry sauce. Heck yeah.) So I thought I could bring you a vegan side to pair with it!

Here is a fun little factoid for ya. We eat beets on Rosh Hashanah because the Hebrew word for beets is similar to the word for remove, as a hope we will remove any negativity in our life. (Buh bye, Felicia!) See, it’s more than apples and honey! The more you know. 

This recipe would also be super tasty over beet greens if your beets came with the greens. Just sauté them real quick in a little olive oil salt and pepper. Finish with lemon juice. Boom.

Anyhoo, back to the recipe. I love how easy, seasonal and fresh this recipe is with the earthy beets, za’atar, sweet carrots and fresh mint. Serve it warm or at room temperature. 

And thanks to my new friend Coconut Dream, totally vegan and parve and gluten free! Boo yeah. Mixed with tahini, it makes a killer dipping sauce for pretty much anything. Including fingers. No judging here- you can repent come Yom Kippur.
