Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
-
First, peel all the carrots. Then, reserve 3 large carrots and set them aside. Slice the remaining carrots on the diagonal into pieces about ½ thick and 1½ long.
-
On the baking sheet, toss the carrot pieces with enough olive oil to lightly coat them. Arrange them in a single layer and sprinkle them lightly with salt.
-
Bake the carrots for 25 to 30 minutes, tossing halfway until the carrots are tender and turning deeply golden on the edges.
-
Meanwhile, slice the remaining 3 carrots into very thin rounds. Place the carrot rounds in a bowl, and fill the rest of the bowl with cold water and a handful of ice cubes. Set the bowl aside.
-
When the carrots are done roasting, arrange them across a large platter. Drain the carrot rounds well and sprinkle them all over the roasted carrots.
-
Halve the avocados and remove the pits. Thinly slice half of the avocado and carefully scoop out the pieces with a large spoon.
-
Arrange the slices in sections over the salad. Dice the rest of the avocado, scoop out the pieces, and arrange them all over the salad.
-
Drizzle the salad dressing lightly all over the salad by the tablespoon then sprinkle the green onion and leafy herbs on top.
-
Finish by sprinkle the salt, red pepper flakes, and a few twists of black pepper on top. Serve promptly as the avocado will brown over time.
