Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 F.
Place peeled whole carrots onto a large baking sheet, set aside.
Place all the remaining Roasted Carrot Ingredients (except the seas salt) into a small bowl, whisk well, then pour all over the carrots on the large baking sheet. Roll the carrots around in the maple/lemon/water mixture until evenly coated. Use your hands, if necessary to get them thoroughly coated, then sprinkle the carrots with some sea salt.
Place the baking sheet into a preheated 400 F oven for 15 minutes.
In the meantime, make the Glaze, place all the Glazing Ingredients into a small bowl, whisk well set aside.
Next, make the Tahini Sauce by placing all the Tahini Sauce Ingredients into a small bowl, whisk well, set aside.
After the carrots have been in the oven for 15 minutes, remove and brush on the Glaze, turn them over, brush on more Glaze, then return to the oven for another 15 minutes.
After the 2nd 15 minutes (30 minutes total) have expired, remove and brush on the Glaze, turn them over, brush on more Glaze, then return to the oven for another 10 minutes.
After the final 10 minutes have expired (total 40 minutes in the oven), remove from the oven and brush with more Glaze. Test for doneness, if the carrots have not reached the desired tenderness, continue roasting in the oven until tender.
After the carrots have reached the desired tenderness, remove from the oven and give them a final Glaze (do not return to the oven). Immediately remove from the baking sheet and place on a serving platter.
Top with the Tahini Sauce, then sprinkle on the pomegranate arils, and chopped pistachios and serve.
