Equipment

  • Food Processor

Ingredients
  

Roasted Carrots

  • 7 medium Carrots peeled
  • 2 tablespoon Unsalted Butter
  • 2 cloves Garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoon Honey
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon Ground Pepper

Whipped Feta

  • 2 cups Feta Cheese drained
  • ½ tablespoon Lemon Zest from half a lemon
  • ¼ cup Plain Greek Yogurt
  • 2 tablespoon Olive Oil divided
  • 2 tablespoon Fresh Parsley optional topping

Instructions
 

Roast the Carrots

  • Preheat the oven to 425F.
  • Peel the carrots and and carefully cut them in half lengthwise. Keep them at full length or cut the in 3 inch sections.
    7 medium Carrots
  • Place the prepared carrots in a 9"x13" baking dish. Make sure that the carrots do not overlap too much so that they can evenly roast. Set aside.
  • Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and simmer for a minute while stirring. Take the saucepan off the heat and stir in the honey until melted.
    2 tablespoon Unsalted Butter, 2 cloves Garlic, 2 tablespoon Honey
  • Pour the honey/butter mixture over carrots in the baking dish. Toss the carrots around so that they are all covered in the glaze. Sprinkle on the sat and pepper. Bake the glazed carrots in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, tossing every 10 minutes.
    ½ teaspoon Salt, ⅛ teaspoon Ground Pepper

Whip the Feta

  • Combine, in a food processor, the drained block of feta, lemon zest, 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, and Greek yogurt. Use the pulsing button to start blending the feta.
    2 cups Feta Cheese, ½ tablespoon Lemon Zest, ¼ cup Plain Greek Yogurt, 2 tablespoon Olive Oil
  • Pour an additional tablespoon of olive oil into the food processor if the mixture is too thick to properly blend. This will depend on the type and brand of feta you are using.
  • Make sure to scrape down the sides of the food processor bowl and keep blending until the feta is smooth and airy.
  • Spread the whipped feta on a large plate. Place the roasted carrots on top of the feta. Garnish with the roasted garlic from the pan, extra lemon zest, and freshly chopped parsley.
    2 tablespoon Fresh Parsley
