1
To make carrots: Turn on a couple of the gas burners on your stove and place the carrots directly on the flame. Use tongs to turn and move them around occasionally to make sure the entire carrot gets mostly blackened. Once carrots are nicely charred (about 10 minutes), remove them to a plate and set aside.
2
Preheat oven to 400u00b0F. Place charred carrots on a foil-lined baking sheet and drizzle with a little olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast for 15-20 minutes, turning once or twice during baking, until the carrots are tender.
3
To make pesto: Place carrot tops, mint, garlic, walnuts, and cheese, into a food processor with a few tablespoons of olive oil and blend until combined but still slightly chunky. Season with salt and set aside.
4
To make yogurt: Stir either harissa paste or harissa powder into yogurt to taste. Season with a squeeze of lemon juice and salt. Refrigerate until ready to use.
5
Serve carrots warm or at room temperature drizzled with the pesto and the yogurt.
