Instructions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 425. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside.
Step 2
Add the beets to a medium bowl with 1 1/2 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper. Toss to coat, then add them to one half of the sheet pan.
Step 3
Next, add the carrots to a separate medium sized bowl, add the remaining olive oil, salt and pepper and toss to combine. Add the carrots to the other side of the sheet pan. Spread the beets and carrots out, but keep them separate to avoid the beets staining the carrots. Add the thyme, then place them in the oven and roast for 30-35 minutes, flipping them halfway.
Step 4
While the beets and carrots roast, make the whipped cottage cheese. Add the cottage cheese, tahini, parsley, scallions, dill, salt and pepper to a food processor. Process until smooth and all of the lumps are gone.
Step 5
Serve the cottage cheese spread on a plate, top with the beets and carrots. Add fresh dill, parsley, sunflower seeds and olive oil if using.
