Ingredients
For the Carrots:
– 1 Pound Carrots, I recommend using baby carrots. If you want to use whole carrots, use 6-8. You don’t need to peel them, but you can cut them in half, if desired.
– 3 Tablespoons Olive Oil
– 2 Tablespoons Honey
– ½ Teaspoon Aleppo Pepper
– 1 Teaspoon Cumin
– ½ Teaspoon Paprika
– ½ Teaspoon Cinnamon
– Sea Salt, to taste
– Ground Black Pepper, to taste
For the Whipped Feta:
– 8 Ounces Feta Cheese, crumbled
– 1 Cup Greek Yogurt
– 1 Lemon, juiced – this is about 3 tablespoons
– 3 Tablespoons Olive Oil
– 2 Cloves Garlic
For Garnishing:
– 1 Tablespoon Fresh Parsley, chopped – optional
– ½ Teaspoon Aleppo Pepper , optional
– 1 Drizzle Olive Oil, optional
– 1 Tablespoon Pomegranate Arils, optional
Instructions
- Pre heat oven to 400F
- Wash and cut carrots being sure to remove the stems. Add them to a large bowl, with olive oil, honey, and all of the seasonings: the Aleppo pepper, cumin, paprika, cinnamon, sea salt, and black pepper. Use your hands to toss the carrots and fully coat them in the seasoning blend.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and transfer the carrots to the baking sheet, making sure they are spread out evenly.
- Roast carrots for 20-25 minutes, until they are fork tender. At the halfway point, remove the tray from the oven and toss the carrots to ensure that they cook evenly.
- While the carrots are in the oven, prepare the whipped feta by adding the feta cheese, greek yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, and garlic to a food processor and processing them until the feta cheese reaches a smooth and creamy texture. If you prefer a thinner consistency to the feta, you can add in a few tablespoons of water and re-process until the feta reaches your desired consistency.
- Once the whipped feta is done, spread it across a plate. Then, once the carrots are done, remove them from the oven and add them on top of the whipped feta.
- Garnish the carrots with some chopped fresh parsley, a drizzle of olive oil, more Aleppo pepper, or pomegranate arils, if desired. Then, serve and enjoy!
