Roasted carrots are my soon-to-be husbands favorite food. I could literally oven-roast like 2 pounds of carrots, and almost guarantee he would eat all of them. So I knew when I made this recipe that he was going to love it – and I was right! This recipe for oven roasted carrots with pesto and goat cheese is a great way to get your veggies in during these summer months!

This recipe for oven roasted carrots will be the last one you ever need - paired with pesto made from the carrot tops and goat cheese.

That carrot-eating fiancé and I are getting married in just two days. Two days! It’s nuts! It feels like forever and also hardly any time at all since we met, which is a crazy weird feeling. I cannot wait for our special day and to have all our amazing family and friends there to support us.

After the wedding we leave for our honeymoon in Europe. I’m so excited for two weeks of travel, and just praying I don’t get seasick on our cruise (first time cruiser here, people!). It’s going to be such an amazing experience to try all of the local foods on our excursions – I’m super pumped to get a big dose of international recipe inspiration on our trip!

These carrots are crazy tasty. I mean, we all know already how amazing oven roasted carrots are with their crispy caramelized goodness. But I wanted to hit the refresh button on this classic recipe and make something that was totally summer appropriate. These carrots hit the mark! They are paired with creamy fresh goat cheese and a carrot top pesto. I love that this recipe uses all of the parts of the carrot: it’s no fun throwing out those beautiful green tops! (But if you’re pressed for time on a busy weeknight, jarred pesto tastes just as good!)

Ingredients
  1. 1 bunch carrots (with tops)
  2. Olive oil
  3. Kosher salt
For pesto
  1. 1 bunch carrot greens, roughly chopped
  2. ¼ cup walnuts
  3. ½ cup olive oil
  4. ¼ cup parmesan cheese, grated
  5. Kosher salt
  6. Ground black pepper
  7. Goat cheese, crumbled
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Cut carrot greens from the bunch of carrots, leaving about a ½ to 1 inch stem on the carrots. Set carrot greens aside. Scrub carrots clean of dirt and debris under the sink. Slice carrots in half lengthwise. Lay in a single layer on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and kosher salt as desired. Roast carrots in oven for 30 minutes (if the carrots are larger, you can roast them for longer, or alternatively cut them into quarters instead of halves before roasting).
  3. While carrots are roasting, prepare pesto. add carrot greens and walnuts to food processor and pulse until combined. With food processor running, stream in olive oil and run until smooth. Transfer mixture to a small bowl and fold in parmesan cheese. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  4. When carrots are finished, serve on a large platter topped with pesto and crumbled goat cheese. Enjoy!
