Ingredients
Carrots
- 2 pounds carrots, peeled
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste
Crumble Topping
- 1/4 cup finely chopped pistachios
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped dill
- Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste
Garnish
- 1 tablespoon hot honey, for drizzling
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
- Prepare carrots: Using a sharp knife, trim the tops off the carrots and slice them diagonally into 1/2-inch-thick pieces, trying to keep the slices uniform for even cooking.
- Season carrots: Spread the carrot slices evenly on the baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle garlic powder if using, and toss to coat well. Season with kosher salt and black pepper to taste.
- Roast carrots: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the carrots for 20 to 30 minutes, tossing once halfway through. Roast until the carrots are fork-tender and lightly caramelized.
- Make the crumble: While the carrots roast, combine finely chopped pistachios, crumbled feta cheese, parsley, dill, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a small bowl. Mix well.
- Assemble and serve: Once the carrots are tender, remove them from the oven. Drizzle hot honey over the roasted carrots, then sprinkle the pistachio and feta crumble on top. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- For a milder honey drizzle, substitute regular honey mixed with a pinch of chili flakes instead of hot honey.
- Alternatively, swap pistachios for toasted almonds or walnuts for different nutty flavors.
- Use fresh herbs for a bright, fresh taste; dried herbs won’t provide the same vibrancy.
- Peeling the carrots is optional if you prefer a rustic texture; just be sure to wash them thoroughly.
- Adjust the amount of garlic powder or omit it depending on your preference.
