Preparation

Caramelized Carrots

Preheat oven to 400°F and place rack in center. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine maple syrup, harissa, vinegar, olive oil, garlic and salt. Reserve 2 tbsp. sauce for garnish. Place carrots in sauce and toss gently until well coated. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until carrots are well caramelized.

Whipped Feta

Place all the ingredients for the whipped feta cheese in a narrow container. Using a blender attachment, blend until smooth. Spread the whipped feta cheese on the bottom of a serving plate and place the caramelized carrots on top with the remaining maple sauce and garnishes.
