Ingredients

Serves 4 to 6

Roasted Rainbow Carrots

1 bunch rainbow carrots (about 1–1½ lb)
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste

Nori Mascarpone

1 cup mascarpone
1 tablespoon nori powder
2 tablespoons milk

Spiced Granola

2 cups of oats
½ cup chopped cashews
1 tablespoon sunflower seeds
2 tablespoon white sesame seeds
2 tablespoon black sesame seeds
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon paprika powder
2 teaspoon garlic powder
2 teaspoon onion powder
2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoon fennel seeds
1 teaspoon sumac powder

Method

Roasted Rainbow Carrots

  • Heat oven to 425°F.
  • Scrub your carrots well. Trim tops, leaving carrots whole (or halve lengthwise if thick). Toss carrots with olive oil, salt and pepper.
  • Spread in a single layer on a sheet pan. Roast 20–25 minutes, turning once, until tender with caramelized edges.

Nori Mascarpone

  • Add all ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Spiced Granola

  • Preheat the oven to 300°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, combine the oats, cashews, sunflower seeds, white and black sesame seeds, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, fennel seeds, and sumac. Mix well.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar and olive oil.
  • Drizzle over the oat mixture and mix thoroughly using your hands or a rubber spatula to evenly coat. Spread the mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet and let it sit for 20 minutes.
  • Bake for 8–10 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes, until the oats are golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool completely. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 weeks.

To Finish

On a warm plate, spread a generous amount of Nori Mascarpone. Place the Roasted Rainbow Carrots on top. Garnish with a spoonful of Spiced Granola. Serve immediately with a glass of Rhys Merlot.

Sweet, caramelized rainbow carrots meet umami-rich nori mascarpone and crunchy spiced granola for a dish that’s full of surprises—made even more delicious alongside Davis Estates Rhys Merlot.
