Honey-Roasted Carrots with Whipped Feta

Cooking instructions

1. 1.

   Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

2. 2.

   Peel the carrots and cut them into pieces about 5 cm long.

   
3. 3.

   Place the carrots in a baking dish or on a parchment-lined sheet pan. Add the olive oil, honey, salt, and pepper, and toss well to coat. Spread in a single layer so they roast evenly rather than steam.

   
4. 4.

   Roast for 35–40 minutes, until tender with lightly caramelized edges, turning once halfway for even browning.

   
5. 5.

   For the sauce, use a blender for the smoothest texture: add the feta and yogurt, then a little lemon zest and the juice of half a lemon. Blend until perfectly smooth. Alternatively, combine everything in a bowl and mash with a fork until soft and creamy. Taste and add a pinch of salt if needed.

   
6. 6.

   To serve, spoon the whipped feta onto a plate and swirl it into a circle.

   
7. 7.

   Top with the roasted carrots and, if you like, finish with a light drizzle of honey.
