Jenny's Tip: - Once roasted, serve these beautiful carrots with a generous amount of crumbled, sharp and salty feta cheese. You can certainly use parsley to add the herb flavor but cool, fragrant mint is common in Moroccan and Middle Eastern cooking, and the blend with the sweet honey is delicious.
