Chef's notes: "This came together on a sunny day when I needed a quick, protein packed lunch for my daughter! The whipped cottage cheese adds a creamy base, while OliveOlive's Greek Seasoning Blends and harissa take the carrots somewhere really special. Light, vibrant and on the table in about an hour!"
INGREDIENTS
16 small to medium thin carrots, peeled and halved lengthwise
14-16 asparagus spears
For the marinade:
4-6 tbsp OliveOlive extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp harissa paste
2 tbsp pomegranate molasses
2 tsp lemon juice
3 tsp OliveOlive Greek Seasoning Blend for Chicken
Salt and black pepper to taste
For the whipped cottage cheese:
1 cup cottage cheese
½ cup Greek yogurt
4 tbsp mango chutney
2 tsp lemon juice
½ tsp turmeric
For the mint salsa:
2 tbsp lime juice
4 tbsp fresh mint, finely chopped
Lime zest to taste
2 tsp OliveOlive Greek Seasoning Blend for Potato
Salt and black pepper to taste
Optional: grated halloumi cheese or crumbled feta
Toasted Greek flatbread to serve
METHOD
Preheat your air fryer to 200°C. Peel and halve your carrots lengthwise.
Mix all marinade ingredients together in a bowl. Massage generously all over the carrots and place in your air fryer basket. Air fry at 200°C for 15-18 minutes, then add the asparagus spears and air fry for a further 5-6 minutes. Carrots should be golden with a slight bite — not mushy!
Meanwhile blend the cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, mango chutney, turmeric and lemon juice until completely smooth and set aside.
Mix all mint salsa ingredients together in a small bowl and set aside.
To serve, spread the whipped cottage cheese generously on a platter. Top with roasted carrots and asparagus. Drizzle over the mint salsa. Crumble feta or grated halloumi on top if using and serve with toasted Greek flatbread.
No air fryer? No problem — roast at 200°C in a conventional oven for the same time.

Hello everyone from the UK! I usually start my exploration of a new platform with the special offers section . I liked how all the information is presented clearly and structured, so I can quickly understand the features available to new users. Plus, the site works quickly on both computers and smartphones, harry casino making it even more convenient to use. It's details like these that inspire trust and a desire to use the service regularly 😀
Earlier this summer I came across nika casino in a UK forum thread about accessibility. The main focus was on color contrast and readability, but the casino site was mentioned casually. No hype, just grounded notes. That understated mention made it feel authentic, and I left with the impression it was dependable.
I found this platform through a UK sports forum where users occasionally share links to different gaming-related websites. I wasn’t focused on anything specific, just curious how the design compares to others. The layout is fairly minimal, which makes it easier to move around without distraction. While going through sections I opened Rollino Casino in the middle of navigation to observe how the pages are structured. Everything behaved as expected, and the site felt logically organised from a usability perspective.
Hello everyone, writing directly from the UK after a long night. I found this platform because a mate of mine keeps sending random links in a WhatsApp group (usually about new Mediterranean recipes or local food spots), and this time he mentioned a site that runs seamlessly on his phone. Normally, no one takes what he sends very seriously, but I decided to take a look out of curiosity. While browsing, I accessed LTC Casino and noticed that everything seemed remarkably simple right away. Another positive point was the flawless speed at which I could switch between sections. There was a moment when I thought about stopping after a few consecutive losses, but I kept going calmly and managed to recover…
