Honey Roasted Carrots & Feta

The fall is here and it is time to enjoy roasting veggies!!

Cooking carrots maintains their beta carotene content, and when eaten with a little fat (like olive oil) their pro-vitamin A content is more easily absorbed. Carrots are also a great source of fiber, Vitamin C, and potassium. BONUS: carrots contain beneficial fiber for the gut, increasing short chain fatty acid production by our probiotic strain of beneficial bacteria!!
