Ingredients

Carrots

  • lbs carrots (about 8 large carrots)

Glaze

  • 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tbsp pure honey
  • 1 tsp water
  • 1 clove garlic (minced)
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Toppings

  • 2 tbsp fresh dill
  • ½ cup feta cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for roasting the carrots evenly.
  2. Wash and Peel Carrots: Thoroughly wash the carrots to remove any dirt, then peel them to prepare for roasting.
  3. Cut Carrots: If the carrots are large, cut them in half lengthwise to allow even roasting and caramelization.
  4. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the carrots out evenly to prevent steaming and promote roasting.
  5. Make Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, honey, water, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  6. Coat Carrots: Pour the honey-garlic glaze over the carrots, tossing gently to coat each piece thoroughly.
  7. Bake: Roast the carrots in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking and caramelization.
  8. Add Toppings: Remove the carrots from the oven, then sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese and fresh dill evenly over the top.
  9. Serve: Serve the roasted carrots immediately as a delicious side dish with a balance of sweet, savory, and fresh flavors.

Notes

  • Use fresh carrots for the best flavor and texture.
  • Adjust honey quantity for sweeter or less sweet glaze.
  • Feta cheese adds a tangy contrast; goat cheese can be used as an alternative.
  • Fresh dill is recommended, but dried dill can be substituted if needed.
  • Serve warm for optimum taste and texture.
