Method:

Preheat an oven to 180⁰C.

Toss the carrots and ClemenGold®️ mandarins in olive oil, season with salt and roast for about 30 minutes or until they have some colour.

For the oil:

Heat the oil, dried chilli and ClemenGold®️ peel in a pot. Don’t allow it to boil – just heat it on the stove for about 10 min and then allow to cool.

Strain and transfer to a glass jar.

For the soup:

When the carrots and ClemenGold®️ mandarins are ready, in a large saucepan fry the onions in some of the ClemenGold®️ oil until they have some colour.

Add the vegetable stock, followed by the roast carrots, ClemenGold®️ mandarins and 300ml coconut cream.

Turn off the heat, add the ClemenGold®️ juice and blitz until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. (For an extra citrus hit, you can add the zest of the ClemenGold®️ mandarins while you are blitzing the soup.)

Serve with coconut cream, chilli ClemenGold®️ oil, toasted coconut flakes, carrot chips and parsley.
