Ingredients
  

For the Feta Dip
  • 3.5 oz feta cheese cubed
  • 75 g Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Juice of ½ lemon
  • ½ tbsp honey
  • 2 medium garlic cloves minced
  • ½ tsp lemon zest finely grated
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley
  • Black pepper to taste
For the Carrots
  • 1 lb carrots
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ tsp sweet paprika
  • ¼ tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp Italian seasoning
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
For the Topping
  • 20 g feta cheese crumbled
  • 1 tbsp sunflower seeds
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped
  • 1 tbsp honey

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  2. Peel the carrots and cut them lengthwise. Cut thick carrots into quarters and thinner ones in half. Cut the pieces about the same size so they cook evenly.
  3. Add the olive oil, sweet paprika, smoked paprika, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to a large bowl. Mix well.
  4. Add the carrots and toss until they’re well coated.
  5. Line a baking tray with parchment paper and arrange the carrots in a single layer. Roast the carrots for about 25 minutes, or until they’re tender and browned. Turn them halfway through for even cooking.
  6. To make the whipped feta dip, add the feta, Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, honey, garlic, lemon zest, parsley, and black pepper to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  7. Spread the feta dip over a serving plate. Arrange the roasted carrots over the dip.
  8. Add crumbled feta, parsley, and sunflower seeds on top. Drizzle with honey and serve warm.
