Instructions
1
Wash and peel the carrots, then cut them into thin rounds. Place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
2
Drizzle the carrots with olive oil and bake in a preheated oven at 200 °C for about 20–25 minutes, until softened and the edges are slightly browned.
3
Remove the roasted carrots from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
4
Put the carrots into a blender, add the ricotta, chopped garlic, lemon juice, zest, cumin, salt and pepper.
5
Blend all the ingredients until completely smooth and creamy. If the dip is too thick, add a tablespoon of water or oil.
6
Transfer the dip to a bowl, sprinkle with parsley, and serve with whole-grain crackers or vegetable sticks.
Nutritional benefits
Thanks to the high content of beta-carotene (the orange pigment in carrots) and protein from ricotta, this dip supports eye health and contributes to tissue regeneration.
