Ingredients:

  • 10 Dutch carrots, scrubbed clean, tops trimmed and sliced in half
  • 3 tbsp maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp sriracha
  • 1 1/2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Whipped feta:

  • 1/4 cup plain vegan yogurt
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 200g Nafsika’s Garden Feta style vegan cheese
  • 1/2 lemon, juiced
  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder

Garnish:

  • 3 tbsp finely chopped cilantro

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  2. In a small bowl, combine maple syrup, sriracha, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Whisk until fully combined.
  3. In a medium-sized baking dish, toss the carrots with the spicy maple sauce. Place in the oven and roast for 30 minutes, tossing halfway through, until they are tender and caramelized on the edges.
  4. Add vegan yogurt, unsweetened almond milk, feta, lemon juice, ground pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and smoked paprika to a blender. Blend until fully smooth and set aside.
  5. Once the carrots are fully cooked, remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes.
  6. On a serving dish, spread the whipped feta. Pile on the carrots, scraping out all the leftover juices. Sprinkle cilantro and pistachios on top.
