Let’s Talk About These Roasted Maple Glazed Carrots with Feta
Before we get to the recipe particulars, let’s talk carrots. Carrots are a root vegetable and the perfect health food. They are a fabulous source of beta-carotene, fiber, vitamin K1, potassium, and antioxidants. And, they’re low in calories. They have been linked to lower cholesterol levels and improved eye health. What’s more, their carotene antioxidants have been linked to a reduced risk of cancer. Which, of course, is awesome! But they also taste great, add color to your meal, and when dressed up a little are even a great addition for a holiday meal.
These Roasted Maple Glazed Carrots with Feta are made in three easy steps: first, you slice the carrots, then toss in a mixture of olive oil, maple syrup, sea salt and pepper. Second, you roast the carrots until cooked and the edges slightly brown. Third, plate and sprinkle with feta and freshly chopped herbs. That’s it. This recipe takes about 8 minutes to prep and 40-45 minutes to cook.
The Feta and Herbs:
I use a soft French sheep’s milk feta for this recipe. It’s so creamy and has that wonderful salty bite. I use cilantro to garnish, but if you are one of those people that hates cilantro, feel free to use chives or parsley instead. All are tasty and healthy options!
What to Serve it With:
I love to serve these carrots alongside my Perfect Filet Mignon.
