Add a touch of spice to your holiday spread with this colorful medley of roasted root vegetables drizzled in homemade salsa macha. Rich and sweet with just the right amount of heat, it's a dish that's as vibrant as it is elegant.

How to Pick Parsnips

Choose parsnips that are stiff and aren’t dried out. Pliable parsnips will not yield the best texture or flavor.


Ingredient Swaps

You can swap any roasted root vegetables like beets or even potatoes for this dish. Swap the Greek yogurt with your favorite non-dairy yogurt and omit the queso fresco to keep this dish dairy-free and vegan.

Instructions

Making the Salsa Macha 

  1. Cut the tops of the dried chiles and shake out the seeds. If you want the dish to be spicy, leave the seeds in. 
  2. Add the extra-virgin olive oil and the smashed garlic into the medium saucepan and heat on medium heat. 
  3. Add in the chiles and peanuts once the garlic turns blonde in color. Stir well and cook for 5 minutes. 
  4. Add the pepitas and sesame seeds into the pot and cook for 2 minutes, then remove from heat. 
  5. Remove all the large bits from the oil with a mesh strainer or slotted ladle, drain, and place it into a separate bowl. It is okay if the sesame seeds are still in the oil. Let cool for 15 minutes. 
  6. Combine the fried ingredients, fry oil, white vinegar, salt, and oregano into the jar of the blender.  
  7. Pulse until the large chunks are broken down. Blend to your desired texture, then pour into a bowl to let fully cool. 

Roasting the Vegetables 

  1. Coat carrots and parsnips with avocado oil, salt, and pepper. 
  2. Place the crisper plate into the air fryer basket. 
  3. Select the Preheat function, adjust temperature to 450°F, then tap Start/Pause
  4. Place vegetables onto the preheated crisper plate, making sure not to overcrowd the basket. 
  5. Select the Roast function at 425°F, adjust time to 13 minutes, then tap Start/Pause
  6. Flip halfway through cooking. 
  7. Remove when done and repeat with any remaining vegetables. 

Assembling 

  1. Spread yogurt onto a plate and sprinkle atop lime zest, then place roasted vegetables on top. Garnish with queso fresco, cilantro, and salsa macha, then serve. 

Chef Notes: You can store leftover salsa macha in the fridge for up to a month in an airtight container.
