Ingredients

  • 2 lbs. medium carrots, halved lengthwise
  • 10 oz. cremini mushrooms, halved
  • 3 tbsp olive oil, plus 1/3 cup
  • 3 tbsp champagne vinegar
  • 5 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 5 garlic cloves, crushed, divided
  • 3/4 tsp salt, divided
  • 1-inch fresh ginger, peeled
  • 1-inch jalapeno, seeded
  • 1/4 cup diced yellow onion
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped scallion greens
  • 1 1/4 cups fresh herbs, such as parsley, cilantro and/or tarragon
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 3/4 tsp ground coriander
  • 3/4 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tsp caraway seeds, toasted and lightly crushed

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425.

  2. Toss carrots and mushrooms with 2 tbsp oil, vinegar, thyme, 4 garlic cloves, and 1/2 tsp salt on a large rimmed baking sheet. Spread in an even layer. Roast, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 30 minutes.

  3. Meanwhile, chop the remaining garlic clove. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ginger and jalapeno and cook, turning occasionally, until charred, 7 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a blender. Reduce heat to medium and add 1 tbsp oil, onion and the chopped garlic; cook, stirring, until very soft, 1 to 3 minutes. Scrape into the blender.

  4. Add scallion greens, herbs, water, coriander, and cumin to the blender along with the remaining 1/3 cup oil and 1/4 tsp salt; process until smooth.

  5. Spread yogurt on a serving platter. Top with the vegetables and drizzle with the salsa verde. Sprinkle with the caraway seeds.
