Welcome back to my holiday dinner party series, where I'm sharing elevated recipes I love for the season! These roasted root vegetables with whipped feta make for the perfect side to any holiday event.

Ingredients

• 1 bunch carrots, sliced lengthwise
• 1 parsnip, sliced lengthwise
• 1 beet, sliced
• 1 turnip, sliced
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 tbsp thyme leaves
• 4 ounces Cream Cheese (softened)
• 4 ounces Feta Cheese (1 cup)
• 1 tbsp maple syrup
• 1 tbsp honey, for drizzling
• ¼ cup walnuts, for topping

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400° Fahrenheit and prepare a large baking sheet with parchment paper. If you haven't already, cut the greens off the carrots and scrub the dirt off. Slice the carrots and parsnip lengthwise, and slice beet and turnip into ½ inch rounds.
2. On the baking sheet, toss root vegetables with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for 25-30 minutes, or until fork tender and crispy.
3. To make the whipped feta, add feta cheese, cream cheese, and maple syrup to a food processor or blender, blending until the mixture is smooth. Add olive oil if the whipped feta is too thick, as it should be spreadable.
4. On a serving plate, spread feta and then top with the roasted root vegetables. Garnish with honey, fresh thyme, and chopped walnuts. Serve warm, and enjoy!

Notes

Try drizzling hot honey over the roasted vegetables for more heat and flavor!

This recipe also pairs well with pistachios, if you don't have walnuts on hand.

If you don't want to use a food processor, you can use a whisk with mixing bowl to whip the feta and cream cheese.
