Best Avocado Labneh Roasted Carrots Leaves Recipes

ROAST CARROT AND AVOCADO SALAD WITH ORANGE AND LEMON DRESSING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Parboil the carrots in boiling, salted water for 10 minutes, until they are very nearly cooked, then drain and put them into a roasting pan. You should flavor them while they're steaming hot, so while the carrots are cooking get a pestle and mortar and smash up the cumin seeds, chilles, salt and pepper. Add the garlic and thyme leaves and smash up again until you have a kind of paste. The idea here is to build up the flavors. Add enough extra-virgin olive oil to generously cover the paste, and a good swig of vinegar. This will be like a marinade, a rub and a dressing all in one! Stir together, then pour over the carrots in the pan, coating them well. Add the orange and lemon halves, cut side down.
• These will roast along with the carrots, and their juice can be used as the basis of the dressing. Place in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until golden.
• While the carrots are roasting, halve and peel the avocados, discarding the pits, then cut them into wedges lengthwise and place in a big bowl. Remove the carrots from the oven and add them to the avocados. Carefully, using some tongs, squeeze the roasted orange and lemon juice into a bowl and add the same amount of extra-virgin olive oil and a little swig of red wine vinegar. Season, and pour this dressing over the carrots and avocados. Mix together, have a taste and correct the seasoning. Call your gang round the table while you toast or broil your ciabatta slices.
• Tear the toasted bread into little pieces and add to the dressed carrot and avocado. Mix together, toss in the salad leaves and cress and transfer to a big platter or divide between individual plates. Spoon over a nice dollop of sour cream, sprinkle over your toasted seeds and drizzle over some extra-virgin olive oil.

ROASTED CARROTS WITH AVOCADO

Steps:

• Toss 1 1/2 pounds baby carrots, 3 tablespoons olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon crushed coriander seeds on a baking sheet; season with salt and pepper. Roast at 400 degrees F, turning once, 25 to 30 minutes. Top with 1 segmented orange (plus any juices) and 1/2 diced avocado. Season with salt and pepper.

AVOCADO LABNE TOAST

Steps:

• For the roasted cauliflower: Put a baking sheet in the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F.
• Meanwhile, toss together the cauliflower florets, olive oil and za'atar in a medium bowl. When the oven is at temperature, pour the cauliflower onto the hot baking sheet, making sure to scrape out all the oil and za'atar. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the cauliflower is crispy and tender. Let cool slightly.
• For the toast: Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Lay the sliced bread out on a clean work surface, brush on both sides with oil and season with salt. When the grill is hot, add the bread and grill for 1 to 2 minutes per side, until the bread is charred and toasted. Remove to a baking sheet.
• For the avocado: Place the avocado, 3 tablespoons of the Fresno chile, and the garlic in a large bowl. Mash together with the back of a fork until evenly incorporated but still chunky. Stir in the lime juice and season with salt. Let sit for 5 minutes, then taste and adjust the salt and lime juice as needed. You can also stir in the remaining 1 teaspoon Fresno chile for more heat!
• For the labne: Mix together the labne and honey. Set aside.
• To assemble: Divide the avocado mixture evenly over the toasts, spreading it to the edges. Top with the labne, leaving a 1-inch border. Add a few pieces of roasted cauliflower to each toast. Serve immediately.
