Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds carrots (peeled and sliced diagonally)
  • 1/2 cup sliced almonds
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • 4 ounces Danish blue cheese, crumbled
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries
  • 3 cups arugula

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. On a baking sheet, combine the carrots, sliced almonds, and minced garlic. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss to coat evenly and spread into a single layer.
  3. Roast for about 30 minutes until the carrots are tender and slightly browned at the edges, stirring twice during cooking for even roasting. Allow to cool to room temperature.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled roasted carrots with cider vinegar and honey. Gently toss in blue cheese, dried cranberries, and arugula until well mixed.
