Roasted Carrots with Whipped Feta
A drizzle of hot honey takes these roasted carrots over the top. Paired with a creamy, whipped feta, this side dish is beautifully paired with your favorite protein (think roasted chicken or grilled salmon filets). The flavor, with a hint of heat, is so well balanced and makes the idea of eating your veggies so delightful.
You also can use larger carrots cut on a diagonal in 3-inch chunks, but I love these ready-to-eat peeled small carrots that are now readily available at Trader Joe’s and Costco locations in my area.

Wow Reed, this looks great!
Stunners!! I need to make roasted carrots more often – always forget how much I enjoy them (as do Dave and Zoey!)
