Honey-Roasted Carrots

“Carrots are naturally sweet, and roasting them brings that out even more while the honey creates a nice glaze. Then the herb oil helps balance all that sweetness.”
Ingredients
Serves 4
- 12 medium carrots (about 2 lbs.), scrubbed
- 1⁄3 cup plus 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp raw honey
- Fine pink Himalayan salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 garlic clove, finely chopped or grated
- 1⁄4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1⁄4 cup chopped fresh dill
- 2 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
- Pinch crushed red pepper flakes
- 4 oz. goat cheese
- 1⁄4 cup pomegranate seeds
Directions
Cook Carrots
- Preheat oven to 450°F. On rimmed baking sheet, toss together carrots, 2 tbsp of olive oil, honey and pinch each of salt and pepper. Roast until carrots are lightly charred, 20 to 25 minutes.
Make Herb Oil and Assemble
- Meanwhile, in small bowl, combine remaining 1⁄3 cup oil, garlic, parsley, dill and thyme. Taste and season with salt and red pepper flakes, as desired.
- Arrange carrots on serving platter. Crumble goat cheese over top, then drizzle herb oil all over. Sprinkle with pomegranate seeds. Serve warm.
