Roasted Carrots with Fried Egg, Tofu and Avocado

Step-by-step method

Let’s cook

At a glance

You'll roast tender, garlicky carrots while prepping fresh components like quinoa, eggs, crispy tofu, and creamy avocado. The longest part is the 75-minute roasting, but most of it's hands-off, giving you plenty of time to get everything else ready. Assembly is simple—just arrange everything on your plate and enjoy this versatile dish for any meal of the day.

Prep the carrots

Arrange the whole carrots in a roasting dish. Season with salt and freshly ground red pepper. Scatter garlic cloves around them - no need to peel them! Feel free to add fresh herbs too - lovage or parsley work beautifully.
