What’s better than oven-roasted carrots? Oven-roasted carrots cooked in the high heat of an Ooni oven for a deliciously sweet and lightly-charred treat. Done in a third of the time it takes to roast in a conventional oven, these carrots are simple to make and addictingly tasty. While they cook, you can easily assemble a herbaceous salsa verde that adds a bright hit of acidity to the natural sugars of the carrots.  

Half of the pleasure of this dish is in the visuals: a swoosh of white ricotta cheese is topped with orange carrots cut on the diagonal, accompanied by spoonfuls of golden-green salsa verde and fresh herbs. While it only takes a few minutes to put together, it’s a scene-stealer on any table. We like to pair this side dish with either our salmon with roasted lemon or easy steak recipe, but we’ve also been known to eat them as the main dish every once in a while, too. 

Once you make these carrots, we’re pretty confident you’ll be hooked – try them for date night, a dinner party, or a healthy-but-delicious weeknight dinner.
