Ingredients
- 1 pound baby carrots (or regular carrots, peeled and cut into sticks)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- Salt and pepper to taste
- ¼ cup crumbled feta cheese
- ¼ cup shelled pistachios, roughly chopped

Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Toss the Carrots: In a large bowl, combine the baby carrots with olive oil, honey, ground cumin, ground coriander, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Toss until the carrots are well coated.
- Roast the Carrots: Spread the coated carrots in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and caramelized, stirring halfway through for even cooking.
- Add Feta and Pistachios: Once the carrots are done, remove them from the oven and sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese and chopped pistachios over the top. Return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes to warm the feta.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the baking sheet from the oven, and if desired, garnish with fresh parsley. Serve warm and enjoy your flavorful Spiced Honey Glazed Carrots!
Tip: For an extra burst of flavor, drizzle a little more honey over the finished dish just before serving!
