Ingredients

  • 1 lb. fresh carrots, washed & peeled
  • 1 Tbsp avocado oil (or olive oil)
  • 2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp honey
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tbsp Mellow Dusk Seasoning
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • Cracked black pepper, to taste
  • ¼ cup goat cheese, crumbled (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven. Turn your oven on to 425 degrees and line a baking pan with parchment paper.

2. Prep your carrots. Rinse your carrots and pat them dry with a paper towel. Then peel them (if desired) and slice the ends off both sides. Cut them on the bias (diagonally) into thirds -roughly around 1½ inch pieces- and add them to a large bowl. (You may need to slice the larger pieces in half again lengthwise if they’re too big.)

3. Toss. Whisk your oil with 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar + 1 tablespoon of honey and pour it over your carrots. The add your garlic, salt, pepper and Mellow Dusk and toss until the carrots are fully coated.

4. Roast! Using a slotted spoon, remove your carrots from the bowl and transfer them to your prepared pan spreading them out in a even layer. (Reserve the liquid in your bowl to brush over the carrots later.) Then place the pan in the oven and roast for 20-25 minutes or until the carrots are tender. (Larger carrots may need to roast for 25-30 minutes.)

5. Baste. During the last 5-10 minutes, brush your reserved liquid over the carrots and let them continue cooking until done.

6. Serve. Once done, whisk 1 more tablespoon of balsamic vinegar + 1 more tablespoon of honey together and drizzle the sauce over your carrots. Toss and serve with crumbled goat cheese sprinkled over the top (if desired).

Pro Tip

Since every oven is different, we recommend checking the carrots around 15 minutes to see how much longer they need!
