Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425°F.

Step 2

Place the peeled whole carrots on a large baking sheet or in a large casserole dish.

Step 3

Drizzle the with olive oil, maple syrup, spices, garlic, and herbs, and toss to coat.

Step 4

Bake for 18-20 minutes for baby or garden carrots or 25-30 minutes for larger store-bought carrots. The carrots shown in these images took approximately 20 minutes for reference. Pierce the thickest part of the carrot with a fork to ensure it’s tender.

Step 5

While they’re roasting, make the whipped feta if using. Add all of the ingredients to a high-speed blender or food processor and blend on high speed for 2-3 minutes, until smooth and no lumps remain. Add a splash of milk as needed to thin it out to the desired consistency.

Step 6

Serve the carrots warm with optional whipped feta and chopped parsley.
