Method
 

  1. Heat oven. Heat oven to 425°F and arrange a rack at the top of the oven.
To Make the Dressing:
  1. Make the dressing. Combine all ingredients in the bowl of a food processor. Blend on high until smooth.
To make the Carrots:
  1. Roast the carrots. Toss carrots in olive oil on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and roast until tender, about 15 minutes. You can run them under a hot broiler for a minute or two to get some charred bits if you'd like.
  2. Serve. Transfer to a large serving platter or plate. Drizzle with a few tablespoons of dressing and sprinkle with the cheeses, cilantro, and cumin seeds. Serve immediately with extra dressing on the side.

Notes

To make roasted garlic, heat oven to 400°F. Slice off the top 1/4 of a head of garlic with a serrated knife to expose some of the cloves. Place in a piece of foil large enough to cover and drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Wrap tightly with the foil and place in an oven-safe pan. Roast until cloves are soft, about 30 minutes. Remove, let cool, then peel off the papery skin. Roasted garlic will keep for 1 week in the fridge.
