Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Peel and cut the carrots. Place in a mixing bowl.

Step 3

In a saucepan over medium heat, add the butter and honey and heat until butter melts.

Step 4

Add garlic and stir until fragrant, ~30 seconds. Add the apple cider vinegar, salt and pepper. Simmer on low until the sauce begins to thicken, about 5-6 minutes. It will look like a loose honey consistency. If you want a thicker sauce, allow it to simmer and reduce longer.

Step 5

Pour about 1/4 cup of the sauce onto the carrots and toss until coated.

Step 6

Transfer the carrots to the prepared baking sheet along with any of the sauce that settled to the bottom of the bowl. (I like to flip the carrots cut side down so they get a nice roast).

Step 7

Roast for 20 minutes. Then drizzle the carrots with a little bit more of the honey sauce. Place back in the oven and roast again for ~10 more minutes or until roasted and tender.

Step 8

Spread the goat cheese onto a serving plate and drizzle the goat cheese with honey.

Step 9

Top the goat cheese with the roasted carrots and drizzle any remaining glaze on top. Garnish with fresh parsley, lemon zest, pine nuts, and flaky sea salt. Serve right away and enjoy!
