Spiced Carrots with Whipped Feta – Organic small carrots are tossed with cumin, paprika and cinnamon and then roasted to perfection. Served on top of lemony whipped feta dip.
Roasted carrots are a delight. In fact, I am of the opinion that most vegetables just taste better after being roasted. That charred goodness that forms around them is unmatched!
When I saw a recipe for these spiced roasted carrots on Instagram, I was immediately drawn to them. I love roasting my carrots but I never thought to add a mixture of smokey spices and sweet honey to them to make them even better. And with the whipped feta dip they are taken to a whole other level!
Here is my version of these Spiced Carrots and Whipped Feta! They’re a great addition to your spring brunches of Easter dinners this month!
Tips & Tricks
- Organic Carrots. I love the look of small organic carrots with their little stems on the end. So I kept a little piece on the ends of mine for that organic look.
- Don’t overcook the carrots. I like my roasted carrots to still have a bite so they don’t taste mushy. Make sure you test the carrots around the 18 minute mark to see how you like them and determine how much longer they will need to get to the texture and flavor you prefer.
- Be careful with the salt. Feta cheese is pretty salty already so you only need a teeny pinch to add a little flavor to the dip. If you don’t like salty things, you may not even need any added salt! Give the dip a taste before adding any salt.
