A vibrant, flavour-packed starter that’s sweet, savoury, and full of colour.

Ingredients
For the Carrots
- 500 g heirloom rainbow carrots trimmed and scrubbed (halve any larger ones)
- 1 tbsp white miso paste
- 1 tbsp runny honey
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Sea salt & black pepper
For the Ginger Yoghurt
- 150 g live natural yoghurt Greek-style
- 1 small garlic clove finely grated
- 1 tsp fresh ginger finely grated
- 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
- Pinch of salt
To Finish
- 2 tbsp pumpkin seeds
- A few coriander leaves or micro herbs optional
- Extra drizzle of honey or sesame oil to serve
Instructions
Roast the Carrots
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (fan 180°C). In a bowl, whisk together the miso, honey, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Add the carrots and toss to coat evenly. Spread on a lined baking tray and roast for 25–30 minutes, turning halfway, until golden and tender with a light glaze.
Make the Ginger Yoghurt
- In a small bowl, whisk together the yoghurt, grated garlic, ginger, sesame oil, and a pinch of salt until smooth. Chill until ready to serve.
Toast the Pumpkin Seeds
- Place the pumpkin seeds in a dry frying pan over medium heat. Toast for 2–3 minutes, shaking often, until they pop and turn golden. Set aside to cool.
Assemble
- Spoon the ginger yoghurt onto each plate as a base. Arrange the roasted carrots on top. Sprinkle with toasted pumpkin seeds and finish with a drizzle of honey or sesame oil. Add a few coriander leaves or micro herbs to garnish.
Notes
Heirloom carrots bring natural sweetness and colour — look for purple, yellow, and orange for contrast.
The miso-honey glaze adds umami depth that balances beautifully with the tangy yoghurt.
Serve warm or at room temperature for the best texture and flavour.
