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.
