Ingredients
Scale
1 lb. carrots
2 tsp olive oil
2 tbsp maple syrup
1 tsp cumin
½ tsp paprika
½ tsp cinnamon
Salt and pepper to taste
¾ cup raw cashews (soaked)
250 g extra firm tofu
1 clove garlic
1–1.5 lemons to taste
4 tbsp nutritional yeast
2 tsp apple cider vinegar
½ tsp salt
3–4 tbsp plant milk as needed to thin
1/3 cup pomegranate seeds
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
2 tbsp crushed walnuts
1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare the carrots by slicing off greens while leaving about 1 cm intact. Spread them on a baking tray, drizzling with olive oil and maple syrup. Season with cumin, paprika, cinnamon, salt, and pepper; toss until well-coated.
Roast the carrots for 25-30 minutes until tender and caramelized.
While the carrots are roasting, blend soaked cashews, tofu, garlic, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, apple cider vinegar, and salt in a high-speed blender until smooth. Add plant milk as needed for desired consistency.
Once roasted, plate the vegan ricotta as a base and top with the carrots. Garnish with pomegranate seeds and fresh parsley.
