  • 2 lbs carrots peeled
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme chopped
  • 1/4 cup goat cheese
  • 1 tbsp pistachios
  • 2 tbsp pomegranate arils

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. place carrots on the baking sheet in a single layer and drizzle carrots with olive oil and honey and season with thyme, salt and pepper. Give them a good toss so the carrots are coated in the oil and honey. Roast carrots for 20-30 minutes, until fork tender. The cooking time will vary based on thickness of the carrots.
  • While carrots are roasting, toast pistachios in a small dry frying pan over medium heat for 5-6 minutes, or until toasted and aromatic. Toss pistachios every few minutes to prevent burning.
