Roasted Carrots With Creamy Nuoc Cham Dressing

This vibrant side dish takes humble roasted carrots and Elevates them with a punchy, Southeast Asian-inspired nuoc cham dressing. By roasting the carrots until they are tender and slightly caramelised, you create a sweet base that perfectly complements the salty, sour and spicy notes of the lime and ginger. The addition of a little mayonnaise provides a creamy texture that is entirely dairy-free, making it a versatile choice for any dinner party.

Ideal as a healthy accompaniment to grilled fish or roasted chicken, these carrots bring a refreshing complexity to your plate. The dressing is packed with aromatic garlic and Thai chillies, providing a savoury depth that works wonderfully even when prepared ahead of time. It is a sophisticated way to serve seasonal root vegetables while keeping your cooking light and modern.

Ingredients for Roasted Carrots With Creamy Nuoc Cham Dressing

  • 900g medium carrots, scrubbed

  • 2 tablespoons plus 60ml vegetable oil

  • Kosher salt

  • 1 small shallot, thinly sliced

  • 2 red Thai chillies, sliced

  • 1 (1/2-inch) piece ginger, peeled, thinly sliced

How to make Roasted Carrots With Creamy Nuoc Cham Dressing

Preheat oven to 218°C. Toss carrots and 2 tablespoons oil on a large rimmed baking sheet and season with salt. Roast, tossing occasionally, until crisp-tender, 20–25 minutes.

Meanwhile, bring shallot, chillies, ginger, garlic, fish sauce, sugar, and 2 tablespoons water to a gentle simmer in a small saucepan over medium heat and cook just until aromatics are soft, 8–10 minutes (you don’t want the liquid to reduce much). Let cool. Transfer to a blender, add lime juice and mayonnaise, and blend until smooth. With motor running, gradually stream in remaining 60ml oil; blend until emulsified. Season dressing with salt.

Drizzle dressing over carrots just before serving.

Dressing can be made 3 days ahead. Cover and chill.
