Summerween Movie Night Dinner 🎃🥕🍂
Roasted Carrot Soup (Vegan + Easy Sheet Pan Soup!)
1 lb carrots (465g) washed, dried and cut into 1/2 inch coins
1 tablespoon olive oil 13.05g or coconut oil
1/2 tablespoon garam masala
5 cloves garlic skins smashed but left on
1 inch knob of fresh ginger (14g) peeled and minced or 1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 medium white onion 100g to 150g, cut into quarters and separated (to prevent burning)
3 cups great quality vegetable broth boiling hot*
13.5 oz coconut milk 400g canned and full fat
juice of one regular sized lime or lemon
3/4 teaspoon sea salt
Optional
1 teaspoon turmeric
More ginger if desired
Pinch of cayenne or a scotch bonnet/habanero pepper added in for heat
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425℉/218℃.
On a large sheet pan prepared with a silicone mat, parchment or foil, add the carrots and the onions. Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables and the garam masala. Season with a grinding of fresh sea salt and ground black pepper. Rub the seasonings and oil into the vegetables and spread out. Add the garlic in with the vegetables at this point.
Roast for 30 to 35 minutes, turning halfway, until veggies are roasted and carrots are fork tender.
Remove from oven and remove the skins from the garlic.
In a large blender, add the roasted vegetables including the garlic with the skins off, the vegetable broth, coconut milk, minced ginger, lime or lemon juice and the sea salt. Ensure that the broth is very hot. If you're not using large blender (holds at least 6 cups) then do this in increments. Vent the top a little to let steam escape and avoid hot soup splattering all over the place.
Using the soup setting on your blender, or a very powerful blend option, blend until creamy and smooth. My blender automatically blends for about 3 minutes continuously.
Taste and add salt and pepper to taste if necessary.
Top with garnish (I used fennel fronds since I had in the fridge, but parsley, chives or dill work just as fine) and a pinch of cayenne for a bit of heat.
Serve into bowls and enjoy!
