Harissa-Roasted Carrot & Goat Cheese Salad with Grapes

A vibrant air-fryer salad with harissa-spiced carrots, warm flatbreads, and creamy goat cheese, tossed with juicy grapes and fresh herbs.

This recipe brings together the earthy sweetness of roasted carrots with a spicy harissa kick, balanced by the tangy creaminess of goat cheese and the juicy pop of grapes. It's a quick, impressive dinner for two that makes the most of your air-fryer.

The flatbreads are warmed in the air-fryer, then topped with smashed avocado, the grape-herb salad, and the carrots and cheese. It's a beautiful, colorful plate that's both satisfying and fresh.

Method

  1. Wash the carrots and halve or quarter lengthways, depending on their size. Place in the large air-fryer drawer and toss with the harissa, 1 tablespoon of olive oil and a pinch of sea salt and black pepper. Cook for 20 minutes at 350°F, or until tender, shaking halfway. Add the flatbreads to warm through for the last couple of minutes.
  2. Cut the goat's cheese in half across the middle and place in the small drawer with the grapes alongside (leave them on the stalk, for ease). Drizzle with a little oil, season, and cook for 8 minutes at 350°F, or until the grapes are starting to burst and the cheese is golden and melty.
  3. Carefully pick the grapes into a bowl, lightly crush some of them with a fork, pick in the herb leaves, toss with 1 tablespoon each of red wine vinegar and extra virgin olive oil, and season to perfection.
  4. Put the warm flatbreads on your plates, halve and destone the avo then squash on to the breads with a fork. Spoon over the grape and herb salad, then top with the harissa carrots and oozy goat's cheese, drizzling over any remaining dressing, to serve.

💡 Tips

  • If you don't have an air-fryer, you can roast the carrots in an oven at 400°F for about 25-30 minutes.
  • For a more substantial meal, serve with a handful of rocket or mixed greens.
  • If you can't find harissa, use a mix of smoked paprika, cumin, and a pinch of chili flakes.
