Print Recipe

Sweet and earthy roasted carrots paired with tangy goat cheese, honey, and fresh herbs make for an elegant yet comforting dish perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound fresh carrots, peeled and trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup crumbled goat cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or thyme
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Peel and trim the carrots. If they’re particularly thick, slice them in half lengthwise to ensure even cooking. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
  3. Drizzle the carrots with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, then sprinkle with ½ teaspoon of salt and ¼ teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
  4. Arrange the carrots in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 20 minutes, then use tongs to flip them over for even caramelization.
  5. After flipping, drizzle 1 tablespoon of honey over the carrots and continue roasting for another 15-20 minutes, or until they’re tender and golden brown.
  6. Once the carrots are out of the oven, transfer them to a serving platter. Crumble ½ cup of goat cheese over the top, sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley or thyme, and add a squeeze of lemon juice to brighten the flavors.
  7. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

[‘Don’t overcrowd the pan to ensure even roasting.’, ‘Use fresh, firm carrots for the best flavor and texture.’, ‘Flip the carrots halfway through roasting for even caramelization.’, ‘Adjust seasoning to taste and experiment with spices like smoked paprika.’, ‘Keep an eye on the honey during the second half of roasting to prevent burning.’]
