Equipment

1 large baking sheet

Ingredients

1.5 lbs carrots try to get uniform in size. scrubbed with greens cut off*
1 tbs honey + more for drizzling
2 tbs olive oil
salt
fresh black pepper coarsely ground

Whipped Feta

8 oz crumbled feta cheese
3/4 cup greek yogurt
1-2 tbs olive oil
1/2 tbs honey
1/3 cup roasted, salted pistachios roughly chopped

Instructions

Preheat oven to 450°: Pat carrots dry. On a rimed baking sheet, toss the cleaned carrots with the olive oil, big pinch salt & fresh black pepper & 1tbs of honey.
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.
Make Whipped Feta: To a food processor or blender, add feta, yogurt, 1/2tbs honey, olive oil, & a pinch salt. Blend on high until smooth and creamy. Season with salt to taste & more honey if you want it a little sweeter. Set aside until ready to use.
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.

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!
