Ingredients

  • 1-1/2 lbs (750 g) multi-coloured Ontario Carrots, cut in half lengthwise

  • 3 tsp (15 mL) vegetable oil

  • 1 tsp (5 mL) ground cumin

  • 1/2 tsp (2 mL) smoked paprika

  • 1 cup (250 mL) Ontario Ricotta Cheese

  • 1/4 cup (50 mL) cream cheese, softened

  • 2 tbsp (25 mL) chopped fresh Ontario Dill

  • 2 tbsp (25 mL) Ontario Honey

  • 1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt

  • 1 sheet (225 g) frozen puff pastry, thawed and refrigerated

Instructions

In large bowl, toss carrots with oil, cumin and paprika; place cut-side down on parchment paper-lined rimmed baking sheet. Roast in 425°F (220°C) oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until tender. Set aside.

 

In small bowl, combine ricotta, cream cheese, 1 tbsp (15 mL) each of the dill and honey and salt.

 

On baking sheet, unroll puff pastry leaving pastry on parchment paper. With tip of knife, score 1/2-inch (1 cm) border around all edges. With fork, poke entire surface of pastry. Spread cheese mixture over pastry to border; top with roasted carrots, cut side down, cutting carrots if necessary to fit.

 

Bake in 400°F (200°C) oven 18 to 20 minutes or until pastry is golden brown. Brush carrots with honey. Cool on wire rack for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining dill. Cut and serve.
