Ingredients Needed

• 350g (12 oz) carrots
• 1 heaped tbsp harissa paste
• Olive oil
• 2 flatbreads
• 85g (3 oz) rinded goat’s cheese
• 150g (5.3 oz) seedless red or black grapes
• 1 bunch of soft herbs (30g / 1 oz), such as coriander, tarragon, flat-leaf parsley
• Red wine vinegar
• Extra virgin olive oil
• 1 small ripe avocado

How To Make Jamie Oliver Roast Carrot & Goat’s Cheese Salad

1. Roast the Carrots: Wash and trim the carrots, then halve or quarter them lengthways. Toss them with harissa, 1 tbsp olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper. Cook in the air fryer at 180ºC (350ºF) for 20 minutes, shaking halfway. Add flatbreads during the last 2 minutes to warm.
2. Roast the Goat’s Cheese and Grapes: Cut the goat’s cheese in half and place it in the small air fryer drawer with the grapes still on the stalk. Drizzle with olive oil, season, and cook for 8 minutes at 180ºC (350ºF), until grapes start to burst and cheese is golden.
3. Make the Grape and Herb Salad: Pick grapes into a bowl and crush a few with a fork. Add chopped herbs, a splash of red wine vinegar, a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, and season to taste.
4. Assemble the Salad: Halve, destone, and mash the avocado onto the warm flatbreads. Spoon over the grape and herb salad, top with roasted carrots and goat’s cheese. Drizzle with any leftover dressing.

Recipe Tips

• Don’t overcook the carrots—they should be tender but still hold their shape
• Add the flatbreads last so they stay soft and warm
• Lightly crush the grapes to enhance the dressing’s flavor
• Taste the dressing before serving and adjust the vinegar or oil as needed
• Swap the herbs depending on what’s fresh—mint or dill would also work well
