Not currently a carrot fan? Or maybe you have picky eaters in your home? This recipe for Roasted Carrots with Feta will turn even the non-believers into carrot lovers! Carrots are a staple veg in our fridge. But that wasn’t always the case. Large carrots can be a little intimidating like, “what the heck do I do with these?!” Sure it’s easy to just buy a bag of baby carrots for dipping into your favorite hummus. But those babies are essentially just larger carrots cut down to size by a machine. Nowadays we always buy a big bag or bunch of organic carrots during every grocery haul.

For this dish, we used orange carrots but rainbow carrots would also be beautiful to use. This simple side dish takes just a few ingredients and turns this root vegetable into a star. It’s tossed in a vinegarette of olive oil, honey, minced garlic and a pinch of water and baked to perfection. The combination of the vinegarette and roasting the carrots in the oven carmelizes them and makes them super soft!

The carrots we used were pretty large so we cut them in half to ensure even baking but if your carrots are skinny and small you can skip that step.

We love making these Roasted Carrots with Feta as a part of our regular weeknight meals but it also makes a great holiday side dish. With the holidays just around the corner so be sure to Pin this recipe for your upcoming meal planning!
