Looking to spice up your side dish? These Roasted Carrots with Vegan Whipped Feta is a great dish to try.
There’s something about carrots I just enjoy. But the flavor completely changes when you roast them up. They become this delicious caramelized and tender veggie rich in flavor and so incredibly good. The thing with roasted carrots is you can season them up any way you want or eat them raw. The choice is always yours.
Look for carrots that have the stems still attached. I find that when you roast them up with a little part of the stem in tact, it looks prettier. It’s all about presentation since people tend to eat with their eyes first. Rainbow carrots would be my first choice to go for but use whatever you find at the store.
To take roasted carrots to the next level, I had to serve it drizzled with my tasty vegan whipped feta. This gives it a great salty refreshing bite that pairs well with the cooked carrots. I then, wanted to add a little crunch so rough chop some pistachios and you have a tasty and filling side dish. Heck, I’d even eat this as a main dish.
Give this one a try! If you do, let me know what you think by commenting below.
