Ingredients

1 lb rainbow heirloom carrots
2 tbsp harissa paste
2 tbsp honey
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 cup feta cheese
1/4 cup greek yogurt
1 lemon (zested and juiced)
1/4 cup fresh cilantro
2 tbsp toasted pistachios

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Scrub the carrots well, leaving an inch of the green stems attached for aesthetic appeal.

In a large bowl, whisk together the harissa paste, honey, and two tablespoons of olive oil.

Toss the carrots in this mixture until evenly coated, then spread them onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Roast for 25-30 minutes until tender and caramelized at the edges.

While the carrots roast, combine the feta, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and zest in a food processor, blending until light and aerated.

To plate, spread the whipped feta base onto a platter, arrange the hot roasted carrots on top, and garnish generously with chopped cilantro and toasted pistachios for a sophisticated crunch.
