Roasted Carrots with ricotta and carrot top pesto

    Ingredients

  • 1 bunch of carrots with green tops
  • Salt
  • 5 tbsp olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
  • 2 garlic cloves, peeled
  • 40g parmesan, grated
  • 1 small orange, zested and juiced
  • 70g pine nuts (or almonds/walnuts)
  • 1 tbsp harissa
  • 2 tbsp pumpkin seeds
  • 250g ricotta

    Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 200C/gas mark 6.
  2. Trim the carrot tops from the carrots and set tops aside. Bring a pan of salted water to the boil. Add the whole carrots and cook for 5 mins, then drain and return to the pan. Cover with a lid and steam dry for several minutes.
  3. Put the carrots in a roasting pan and drizzle with a dash of olive oil and season with salt. Transfer to the oven and roast for 30-40 mins, or until tender and lightly browned.
  4. Meanwhile, make the carrot top pesto. Combine carrot tops, garlic, parmesan, 4 tbsp olive oil, orange juice and zest, pine nuts, and a pinch of salt in a small blender and mix until combined. Taste - adjust the seasoning if necessary.
  5. Combine harissa and 1 tbsp olive oil and mix well.
  6. Heat a pan over medium heat and lightly toast the pumpkin seeds until they puff up. Take care not to burn.
  7. To serve, spread the ricotta on a large serving plate. Top it with the carrots, then drizzle over the pesto and harissa oil, and sprinkle over the pumpkin seeds.
