Recipe: Grilled Carrot Tostadas


Grilled Carrot Tostadas
Food & Wine Magazine, Oct 2024, p.42
4.8 stars

Even though I had purchased all of the ingredients for this recipe, we held off on making it ~ just didn't sound SUPER appetizing, but it turned out so much better than we thought it would!!! Great flavors and textures: creaminess of the cream cheese, crunch of the tostadas, acidity of the vinegar, sweetness of the date syrup, "herbiness" of the herbs.

We'd never eaten carrot tops before -- tasted like parsley.

Ingredients: tostadas, carrots with tops, cream cheese, cilantro, mint, jarred salsa macha, red wine vinegar, date molasses, olive oil, Kosher salt, black pepper

Tips/Notes:
  • Added pepitas on top
  • Roasted the carrots -- next time, need 3x the amount of carrots!
  • Store was out of salsa macha both times so didn't use it
  • Couldn't find date molasses but used date syrup instead
  • Served with refried beans on the side (protein!)
