Ingredients

• 6 medium Carrots
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Orange juice
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons Toasted sunflower seeds
• 2 tablespoons Golden raisins

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Peel 3 carrots and cut them into thick sticks, about 2 inches long. Toss these carrot sticks with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper.

Step 3

Spread the carrot sticks on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 15 minutes or until tender and caramelized at the edges. Set aside to cool.

Step 4

Peel the remaining 3 carrots. Use a box grater to shred one carrot and a vegetable peeler to create ribbons with the other two. Combine the shredded carrot and ribbons in a large mixing bowl.

Step 5

Prepare the dressing by whisking together the remaining olive oil (2 tablespoons), honey, lemon juice, orange juice, and the remaining salt (1/2 teaspoon) and pepper (1/4 teaspoon).

Step 6

Chop the fresh parsley and add it to the bowl with the raw carrots along with the cooled roasted carrots.

Step 7

Add the toasted sunflower seeds and golden raisins to the bowl for crunch and sweetness.

Step 8

Pour the dressing over the carrot mixture and gently toss to combine.

Step 9

Refrigerate for at least 10 minutes to let the flavors meld before serving.

Step 10

Serve chilled or at room temperature as a side salad or a refreshing starter.
