Description
Sweet and savory roasted carrots tossed with tangy feta, tart dried cranberries, and crunchy walnuts, all glazed with honey for a delicious side dish that’s perfect for any meal.
Ingredients
- 1 lb carrots, peeled and sliced diagonally into 1/2-inch pieces
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/3 cup dried cranberries
- 1/3 cup walnuts, roughly chopped and toasted
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine sliced carrots, olive oil, honey, cumin, salt, and pepper. Toss well to coat evenly.
- Spread carrots in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until carrots are tender and caramelized at edges.
- Remove from oven and transfer to a serving dish. Sprinkle with toasted walnuts, dried cranberries, and crumbled feta cheese. Garnish with parsley if desired. Serve warm.
Notes
You can customize the seasonings to taste. For a hint of heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes. If you prefer a vegan version, omit the feta and use maple syrup instead of honey.
