Servings 4 people

Ingredients
  

  • 2 Tbsp Extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 Garlic clove Minced
  • 1/2 Cup grape tomatoes Quartered
  • 2.5 Tbsp fresh basil Finely chopped
  • 3 Large Rainbow or orange carrots Peeled
  • 1 Cup Sun-dried tomato sauce
  • 1/4 Tsp Sweet paprika
  • 1/4 Tsp Sea Salt
  • 1/4 Tsp Freshly Ground Black Pepper
  • 2 Tbsp Pumpkin Seeds Toasted for garnish

Instructions
 

  • In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-low heat.
  • Add the garlic and saute until soft and fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the tomatoes and 2 tablespoons of the basil and saute until the tomatoes burst and release their juices, about 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, slice the carrots into ribbons, using either a spiral slicer (aka spiralizer) or a vegetable peeler (this is easiest when you hold the carrot down on a flat surface).
  • Add the carrots, sun-dried tomato sauce, paprika, salt, and pepper to the pan, and cook until the carrots are tender, about 10 minutes.
  • Sprinkle with the remaining ½ tablespoon basil and the pumpkin seeds before serving.
