1 Prepare the ingredients: F Place an oven rack in the center of the oven, then preheat to 450°F.
F Wash and dry the fresh produce.
F Peel the carrots; quarter lengthwise, then cut crosswise into 2-inch pieces.
F Peel and finely chop the garlic; using the flat side of your knife, smash until it resembles a paste (or use a zester).
F Halve the buns.
F Thinly slice the shallot, discarding any liquid.
2 Roast the carrots: F Place the sliced carrots on a sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil and
season with the za’atar seasoning; toss to coat. Arrange in an even layer.
F Roast 15 to 17 minutes, or until lightly browned and tender when pierced with a fork. Remove from the oven.
3 Form the patties: F While the carrots roast, in a bowl, combine the ground lamb and beef and garlic paste; season with salt and pepper. Gently mix to combine.
F Using your hands, form the mixture into two 1/2-inch-thick patties. Transfer to a plate.
4 Cook the patties: F While the carrots continue to roast, in a medium pan, heat 2 teaspoons
of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the patties and cook 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked to your desired degree of doneness.
F Leaving any browned bits (or fond) in the pan, transfer to a plate.
5 Make the yogurt sauce: F While the patties cook, in a bowl, combine the yogurt, harissa paste,
and cheese (crumbling before adding). Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste.
6 Toast the buns & serve your dish: F Add the buns cut side down to the pan of reserved fond. Toast on
medium-high 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until browned.
F Transfer to a work surface. Divide the cooked patties, sliced shallot, and as much of the yogurt sauce as you’d like between the toasted buns.
F Serve the burgers with the roasted carrots and any remaining yogurt sauce on the side. Enjoy!
