Ingredients:

4 cups carrots
480g
1 short spray cooking spray oil
0.30g
1 tsp sesame seeds
5g
2 tsp coriander leaves
6g
1 tbsp honey
10g
2 tbsp feta cheese
30g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Carrots:
- Rinse and dry the baby carrots thoroughly.
- Place the carrots in a large mixing bowl.
3. Season and Toss:
- Lightly coat the carrots with the cooking spray oil. A short spray should be enough to give them a nice glossy finish.
- Toss the carrots to ensure they are evenly coated.
4. Roast the Carrots:
- Spread the carrots out evenly on a baking sheet.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
- Roast for about 20-25 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and slightly caramelized, shaking the pan halfway through roasting to ensure even cooking.
5. Toast the Sesame Seeds:
- While the carrots are roasting, place a small non-stick pan over medium heat.
- Add the sesame seeds to the pan and toast them for about 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Remove from heat once they are golden brown and fragrant.
6. Finish the Carrots:
- Remove the roasted carrots from the oven and transfer them to a serving bowl.
- Drizzle the honey over the hot carrots and toss to coat them evenly.
7. Garnish and Serve:
- Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds over the honey-coated carrots.
- Add the chopped coriander leaves for a fresh, herbaceous note.
- Lastly, top with crumbled feta cheese for a tangy finish.
8. Serve:
- Serve immediately as a delicious side dish or appetizer. Enjoy!

Tips:

- Choose fresh, young baby carrots for the best flavor and texture.

- Make sure to evenly coat the carrots with cooking spray to ensure they roast evenly.

- For a more intense sesame flavor, lightly toast the sesame seeds before using.

- If you prefer a sweeter dish, you can drizzle a little extra honey over the roasted carrots just before serving.

- Add the freshly chopped coriander leaves at the end to preserve their bright flavor and vibrant color.

- Crumble the feta cheese finely so that it spreads evenly over the carrots, ensuring every bite has a bit of creamy goodness.
