Oven Roasted Carrots with Goat Cheese is a delightful and easy-to-make side dish featuring tender, caramelized carrots seasoned with herbs and topped with creamy goat cheese and a touch of honey. Perfect for holiday meals or as a flavorful accompaniment to roasted meats, this recipe combines sweet and savory elements for a crowd-pleasing vegetable dish.

Ingredients

Scale

Carrots and Seasonings

  • 2 lbs carrots (peeled and cut into halves or quarters lengthwise)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme (or 1 tsp fresh thyme)

Toppings and Garnish

  • 1/2 cup crumbled goat cheese
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure easy cleanup and prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare Carrots: Place the peeled and cut carrots on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle evenly with olive oil to coat the carrots and help with roasting.
  3. Season Carrots: Sprinkle the carrots with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and thyme. Toss thoroughly to ensure all pieces are evenly coated with the seasonings.
  4. Roast the Carrots: Arrange the carrots in a single layer on the baking sheet to ensure even cooking. Roast in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through to caramelize all sides until the carrots are tender and lightly caramelized.
  5. Add Honey: Remove the roasted carrots from the oven and immediately drizzle with honey to add a sweet glaze while they are still warm.
  6. Add Goat Cheese and Garnish: Sprinkle crumbled goat cheese over the warm carrots so it slightly softens from the residual heat. Finish by garnishing with chopped fresh parsley for a burst of color and freshness.
  7. Serve Warm: Serve the roasted carrot side dish warm alongside your preferred mains for a delicious, colorful addition to the meal.

Notes

  • You can substitute goat cheese with feta or blue cheese for a different flavor profile.
  • Add a splash of balsamic glaze for extra depth and acidity.
  • This dish pairs beautifully with roasted meats or holiday main courses.
