Ingredients
- 1 lb carrots, peeled and cut into even sticks
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried dill)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Get Ready: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Mix it Up: In a large bowl, combine the carrots, olive oil, honey, and minced garlic. Toss them well until every piece is coated. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Roast: Spread the carrots out in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Make sure they have room to breathe so they get crispy instead of soggy.
- Bake: Put the pan in the oven and bake for 25 minutes. They are done when they are fork-tender and have pretty brown edges.
- The Magic Step: Take the pan out of the oven. Immediately sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese and dill over the hot carrots. The cheese will get just a little bit melty.
- Serve: Slide them onto a platter and enjoy while they are warm!
Notes
- Carrot Choice: Use baby carrots to skip peeling and chopping.
- Easy Cleanup: Line your pan with parchment paper to stop honey from sticking.
- Easy on Salt: Feta is already salty, so use just a tiny pinch on the carrots.
- Dairy-Free: Swap the regular feta for a plant-based cheese alternative.
