I’ve made these roasted goat cheese and honey carrots for Easter dinner two years in a row, and for other family dinners. They’re always eaten up quickly! Goat cheese is incredible on its own, but combined with honey, it brings out a whole new flavor profile that’s to die for.

Speaking of goat cheese…the most popular recipe on my site of ALL TIME (with more than 1 million views on Pinterest too is my Baked Goat Cheese Dip! You can check it out here if you’d like.

How to Make Roasted Goat Cheese and Honey Carrots

1. Preheat your oven to 350F.
2. Now, start by washing and peeling about ten large carrots (if you’re serving two people).
3. Cut your carrots into evenly sized pieces. I either cut my carrots in half or in quarters depending on how big they are.
4. In a large mixing bowl, you’ll combine honey, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, salt and pepper, and red pepper flakes. Mix these ingredients very well until they’re all combined.
5. Add the carrots to the mixing bowl and stir well so they’re evenly coated.
6. Lay a sheet of tinfoil on a sheet pan or in a baking dish and pour the coated carrots onto the tinfoil.
7. Use a wooden spoon to scrape any of the sauce remaining in the bowl onto the carrots.
8. Space the carrots evenly on the pan or dish.
9. When your oven is ready, place the carrots inside for 40 minutes.
10. After 40 minutes, crumble about five ounces of goat cheese (or more or less to your preference) on top of the carrots.
11. Return the carrots to the oven and cook for at least five more minutes, or until they reach desired tenderness. Test with a fork.
12. Serve hot and enjoy!
