Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Roasting the Vegetables

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Peel and cut the beets and carrots into similar-sized pieces. Toss them in a bowl with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 30-35 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized.

  2. 2

    Making Whipped Ricotta

    In a bowl, combine the ricotta cheese with a pinch of salt and blend until smooth and creamy. You can use a hand mixer or food processor for this step.

  3. 3

    Toasting Pumpkin Seeds

    In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the pumpkin seeds for about 5 minutes, or until they are golden brown and fragrant. Stir frequently to avoid burning.

  4. 4

    Preparing Carrot Top Chermoula

    In a food processor, combine carrot tops (or parsley), garlic, cumin, lemon juice, salt, and a drizzle of olive oil. Blend until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.

  5. 5

    Assembling the Dish

    On a serving platter, spread the whipped ricotta. Top with roasted beets and carrots, sprinkle with toasted pumpkin seeds, and drizzle with carrot top chermoula.
