- Roast Carrots for 25 minutes until carrots are lightly charred & roasted. Remember cook time can vary based on the size of the carrots. While carrots are roasting, prepare crumbled feta & chop the pistachios. As soon as the carrots are out of the oven, drizzle a little bit more honey & give the baking sheet a shake & the carrots a toss. Make sure to use a towel to protect your hand as the pan will be hot.

- Assemble: Spread feta on platter or plate & place warm roasted carrots on top. Sprinkle with lots of crushed pistachios, another light drizzle of honey or even some flaky salt.
Home Cook’s Notes
I love how easy this recipe is & I do not even peel the carrots. The skins are so good for you! Just scrub them in the sink and remove any hairy bits. Trim the ends lightly. Cut the greens off. I like to leave some of the top as you see in the photos because I love the look!
