Honey-Roasted Carrots with Tahini Yogurt image

The inspiration for this was Sarah's grandmother ("nan") Dulcie in Tasmania, who always used to add some honey to the pan before roasting her carrots. I'm not sure what Dulcie would have thought about a tahini yogurt sauce served alongside, but the sweetness of the carrots certainly welcomes it. Make this extra vibrant by using different-colored carrots. /* if (Epi.text.truncatedVersion) { Epi.text.truncatedVersion("recipeIntroText", "The inspiration for this was Sarah's grandmother (\"nan\") Dulcie in Tasmania, who always used to add some honey to the pan before roasting her carrots.
