Sweet & Sticky Jerk Carrots With Feta

Carrots stand up well to quite aggressive spicing, and they really deepen in colour and change in texture when roasted. In this dish, the jerk seasoning is a wonderful blend of earthy spices and it's lovely as a sweet glaze with the salty and creamy texture of the vegan feta cheese. A good weekday dinner with a couple of other sides.

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180°C (400°F/Gas 6).

Step 2

In a baking tray, toss the carrots with the garlic granules, allspice, a glug of olive oil and some salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for 30 minutes.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the jerk seasoning and agave syrup. After 30 minutes, take the carrots out of the oven and add the jerk and agave mixture. Stir to coat the carrots evenly, then return to the oven to bake for a further 15 minutes until caramelised.

Step 4

Once cooked, transfer to a serving plate and sprinkle over the feta and parsley.
