  • 1/2 cup bourbon
  • 1/4 cup honey

Instructions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375F and line two rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper. Trim carrot greens a bit if they’re out of control. Scrub the carrots of any dirt (no need to peel) and place carrots on the prepared baking sheets.

Step 2
In a bowl mix the bourbon, honey, cayenne and salt and drizzle the mixture over the carrots. Using tongs toss the carrots a bit so that both sides are evenly coated. Roast the carrots until tender and lightly browned, about 45 minutes. Flip the carrots halfway through roasting.

Step 3
Remove the carrots from the oven and drizzle with the lime juice. Place the carrots on a serving platter and sprinkle on the feta cheese, parsley and any remaining juices from the baking sheets. Serve warm or at room temperature.
