If you have never roasted carrots in the oven or on a grill, I am here to blow your mind. Here’s one interesting thing about vegetables: cooking them certain ways such as by roasting brings out their sweetness incredibly. Every time I caramelize onions on the stove top I am massively surprised by the abundance of natural sweetness present. A first timer would never believe there was no sugar added. Peas too, would blow your mind.
These carrots were almost too sweet for my non sweet tooth. Therefore I found the addition of feta to be a wonderful one for balance and contrast in flavor. To serve, I had it as a side with a meaty main, though you could easily build on it to come up with a decent, light, hopefully vegetarian meal.
The recipe follows.
