Crafting the Delight

  1. Roast the carrots at 200°C for a splendid 20 minutes or until they tenderize. Stir occasionally to ensure even roasting.
  2. Flash-fry the spinach in a pan for approximately 2-3 minutes, until it wilts and reduces in size.
  3. Lay a tortilla flat on a surface and sprinkle one half with luscious goat cheese.
  4. Pile the sautéed carrots and spinach onto the cheese-smothered portion of the tortilla. Be generous, but leave room to fold.
  5. Carefully fold the tortilla in half, so the filled side is resting on the empty half.
  6. Place the quesadilla, seam-side down, in a non-stick skillet preheated over medium heat. Drizzle a little oil to prevent sticking.
  7. Grill each side for approximately 2 minutes or until the tortilla is crisp and the cheese is molten.
  8. Gently slice into wedges for sharing and revel in the sumptuousness. Bon appétit!

Notes worth knowing

  • Gourmet twists: Swap goat cheese for cheddar or incorporate other flavors as desired.
