🧾 Ingredients
Roasted Vegetables:
2 medium beets, peeled & cubed
2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled & cubed
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt & black pepper to taste
Salad & Dressing:
1 ripe avocado, sliced
1 cup ricotta cheese
2 tablespoons tahini
Juice of 1 lemon
1–2 tablespoons olive oil (for dressing)
Optional: fresh herbs like parsley or mint for garnish
Optional: toasted seeds or nuts for crunch
👩🍳 Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Toss beets and sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet.
Roast for 25–30 minutes, stirring halfway, until tender and lightly caramelized.
While vegetables roast, prepare the whipped ricotta: Blend ricotta in a food processor or whisk vigorously until smooth and fluffy.
Make the tahini-lemon drizzle: Mix tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and a little water to thin if needed.
Arrange roasted vegetables on a serving platter. Top with avocado slices and dollops of whipped ricotta.
Drizzle with tahini-lemon dressing. Garnish with fresh herbs and seeds or nuts if desired.
Serve immediately.
🔥 Cooking Method
This recipe combines roasting and raw finishing methods: roasting vegetables intensifies their natural sweetness and caramelizes their edges, while whipped ricotta and tahini dressing provide creamy, tangy contrast.
📜 A Little History
Roasting root vegetables has been a staple in global cuisine for centuries. Beets have roots in Mediterranean diets, sweet potatoes in South American and Caribbean traditions, and tahini in Middle Eastern cooking. Bringing these together with ricotta is a modern, fusion-style approach to vibrant, plant-forward meals.
Every element balances texture, flavor, and visual appeal.
