Step 1

Wash and trim carrots into halves or quarters (roughly about 3 cm-1 inch thick and 6 cm-2 inch long). If you're using baby carrots no need to cut them.

Step 2

Prepare your marinade by mixing all the remaining ingredients from the 'pigs in blankets' section above (except vegan puff pastry).

Step 3

Rub the marinade onto your carrots to infuse them with flavour. If desired, set aside for 15 minutes for a more intense flavour.

Step 4

Place the marinated carrots onto a lined baking tray. Bake at 180°C/356°F for 30 to 35 minutes until tender but not too soft.

Step 5

In the meantime, mix all your dipping sauce ingredients and set aside.

Step 6

Remove the carrots from the oven and let cool slightly.

Step 7

Roll out your puff pastry. If you want all your pigs in a blankets to look uniform, make sure to measure out your puff pastry and slice it into equal rectangles.

Step 8

Wrap carrots in puff pastry and place them on a lined baking sheet.

Step 9

Brush with almond milk and sprinkle with sesame seeds and herbs de Provence.

Step 10

Bake at 200°C/392°F (fan oven) for 20 minutes or until golden brown around the edges.

Step 11

Serve with the dipping sauce or other favourite condiments.
