Print Recipe

These Roasted Carrots with Candied Pecan and Goat Cheese are a delicious and flavorful side dish for the fall and holiday season.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 2 pounds carrots, peeled and sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup pecans
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust:

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
  2. Place carrots on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat.
  3. Roast for 20-25 minutes or until carrots are tender and slightly caramelized.
  4. While carrots are roasting, prepare the candied pecans. In a small skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the pecans, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cook, stirring constantly, for 3-4 minutes or until the pecans are coated and the sugar has melted. Spread the pecans on a piece of parchment paper to cool.
  5. To serve, transfer the roasted carrots to a serving platter. Top with candied pecans, crumbled goat cheese, and fresh parsley.

Notes

For a variation, try using honey instead of brown sugar for the candied pecans. You can also substitute feta cheese for the goat cheese if preferred.
