Preheat the pot over medium heat for about 2 minutes. Add olive oil and spread it evenly. Once the oil starts to smoke, place carrots cut side down and sprinkle with salt. Sear for about 1 minute.
Cover and steam-roast over low heat for 5 minutes.
Once browned, flip the carrots, cover, and steam-roast for another 5 minutes over very low heat.
Combine the ingredients for Yogurt Sauce and spread it on a dish. Arrange the carrots on top, then sprinkle with fennel seeds, pumpkin seeds, and fresh herbs. Finish by drizzling extra virgin olive oil and serve.
