Instructions
For the Carrots
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel and cut the carrots lengthwise or into chunks, depending on your preference.
Grate the garlic.
In a small bowl, mix melted butter, honey, cayenne pepper, salt, and garlic.
Place the carrots on a lined baking sheet and pour the butter mixture over them. Toss thoroughly to coat.
Bake for 15 minutes.
Remove the tray from the oven, sprinkle pecans over the carrots, and return to bake for another 10–15 minutes, until the carrots are golden brown.
For the Whipped Feta Dip
Pat the feta dry using a paper towel, pressing gently to remove excess moisture.
Combine feta, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper in a food processor. Blend until smooth.
Scrape the mixture into a bowl and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Tips from My Kitchen
If you have any leftovers, throw them in a salad the next day! I love adding this to my same old salads for something a little special
Go the extra mile and put the pecans in! The additional crunch is to die for and adds a nice nuttiness to the dish
This dish is elevated but takes less than half an hour to make! It's so easy for company so you can socialize and cook without worrying about one or the other
