Takes: 30 minutes

Ingredients

2 tbsp olive oil
6 medium sized carrots, washed and cut in half lengthways, then into rough chunks around 2cm on a diagonal*
1 jar of Queen Butter Beans, drained and patted dry
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp ground cumin
½ tsp cinnamon
1 tsp dried thyme
200g of cooked quinoa
2 tbsp tahini
2 tbsp lemon juice

Made with:
Butter Beans

These are the most ridiculously creamy, big, juicy butter beans you will find on this planet. We see them as the "creme de la creme" of the bean world. Try them tossed through a puttanesca sauce or with a fresh basil pesto - they're packed full of natural protein so great for flexitarians.

Directions

step 1
Preheat the oven to 200C
step 2
Toss together the carrots, butter beans, spices and olive oil on a lined baking tray with a good pinch of salt. Roast for 25-30 minutes until the carrots are tender and the beans are golden and crispy.
step 3
Meanwhile, make the dressing: mix together the lemon juice and tahini with enough water to get a pouring consistency. Season to taste.
step 4
Once the beans are looking crisp, remove from the oven and tumble in the cooked quinoa. Stir to combine.
step 5
Spoon the tahini dressing onto a plate and top with the traybake mixture. Drizzle with more of the dressing and scatter over a few carrot tops, or fresh dill or parsley, if using.

Made with:
Butter Beans

Recipe Note

*Leaves picked from the carrots and washed - if your carrots didn’t come with leaves, use a small bunch of fresh dill or parsley instead (roughly 15g)

Sub in other spices such as sumac, allspice, turmeric or ground coriander
