Hasselback Carrots
Hasselback Carrots are sliced lengthwise thinly but not all the way through, allowing them to fan out and absorb a spice rub of cumin, smoked paprika, turmeric, fennel seeds, brown sugar, olive oil, and honey before roasting to a tender and crispy finish. Topped with crumbled feta and fresh parsley, these carrots offer a roasting technique that enhances both texture and flavor.

- In a bowl, toss all ingredients except feta and parsley.
- Rub the mixture into the carrots.
- Roast the carrots in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes, until they are crispy on the outside and tender when you pierce them with a fork.
- Sprinkle with the feta and parsley before serving.

Notes
- Use two wooden spoons placed alongside the carrot when slicing to avoid cutting all the way through and keep them intact.
- If no peeler is available, gently scrape carrots with the flat side of a knife to remove the outer layer.
- For larger carrots, add 5 to 10 extra minutes to roasting time for tenderness.
- To speed cooking, parboil carrots for 5 minutes until just tender, then cool before seasoning and roasting.
- Alternatively, cook carrots in a dry skillet over high heat for 10 minutes to add a charred flavor before roasting.
