Recipe by /contributors/nick-curtola The little sprinkle of buckwheat delivers a much-needed crunch factor. If you don’t have any, add some chopped toasted almonds or homemade breadcrumbs.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound small carrots, any color, scrubbed, tops trimmed, halved lengthwise
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for drizzling
  • Kosher salt
  • 2 teaspoons buckwheat groats
  • 1/2 teaspoon nigella seeds (optional)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Champagne vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh carrot juice (optional)
  • 8 ounces stracciatella di bufala, burrata, or fresh mozzarella, torn into large pieces
  • 1 cup (packed) mixed tender herb leaves (such as dill, basil, cilantro, and/or mint)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 °F. Toss carrots with 1 Tbsp. oil on a rimmed baking sheet; season with salt. Roast, tossing occasionally, until golden brown and tender, 15 –20 minutes. Let cool.
  2. Meanwhile, toast buckwheat in a dry small skillet over medium-high heat, tossing often, until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl and stir in nigella seeds, if using.
  3. Place vinegar in a medium bowl and mix in carrot juice, if using. Add carrots and toss to coat. Season with salt.
  4. Place stracciatella on a platter. Arrange carrots over cheese, top with herbs and buckwheat mixture, and drizzle with oil.
