Roasted Rainbow Carrots with Pistachios, Feta and Mint
Roasting the carrots in this recipe gives them a sweet, concentrated flavor that is balanced by the acidity of the lime, the tangy creaminess of the feta cheese and the richness of the pistachios. While I use mint, you could choose basil or cilantro, or a combination of all three. This is a great salad, side dish or part of a plant-based menu and can be served chilled or a room temperature.
