OMGheeShare
If you’re looking for a simple yet show-stopping side dish, these Honey Roasted Ghee Carrots are exactly what you need. Roasted in rich, golden OMGhee and honey, they develop a delicious caramelised exterior while staying perfectly tender inside. Served over zesty, herby Greek yoghurt and finished with crunchy toasted walnuts, this dish is a flavor and texture dream—sweet, creamy, and nutty all at once.
Why Roast Carrots with Ghee?
Roasting carrots in OMGhee enhances their natural sweetness while giving them a beautiful, golden caramelisation. Unlike butter, ghee has a higher smoke point, meaning you get that perfect roast without any burnt flavors. The addition of honey takes it a step further, creating a lightly glazed, glossy finish that makes these carrots irresistible.
A Creamy & Herby Contrast
The beauty of this dish lies in the contrast of flavors. While the carrots bring rich, caramelised sweetness, the Greek yoghurt provides a cooling, tangy base. Mixed with fresh herbs and lemon zest, it adds brightness and depth, making every bite incredibly balanced.
How to Serve It
✔ As a vibrant side dish for roasted meats or grilled fish
✔ As part of a vegetarian feast, alongside grain salads and hummus
✔ As a standalone small plate, perfect for dipping warm flatbread into the creamy yoghurt

Ingredients
-
3 tbsp OMGhee
- 8 Dutch carrots (washed, stalks trimmed to 1cm)
- 3 tbsp honey
- 350g Greek yoghurt
- 1/2 cup walnuts, toasted
- 1/2 cup freshly chopped herbs
- ½ lemon zest
Directions
Preheat the oven to 200°C and melt the ghee in a pan over low heat.
- Once melted, add the honey and stir to combine.
- Place the washed and trimmed carrots on a baking tray.
- Drizzle the ghee and honey mixture over the carrots, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Roast the carrots in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelised, turning halfway through for even roasting.
- While the carrots are roasting, prepare the Greek yoghurt mixture:
- Spoon the Greek yoghurt onto a plate or shallow dish. Add freshly chopped herbs (such as parsley, dill, or thyme), lemon zest, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well to combine.
- Once the carrots are cooked, place them on top of the Greek yoghurt mixture.
