I developed this Roasted Carrot & Herby Feta Galette as part of a collaboration project with dozens of other talented food bloggers. The springy theme centered around carrots with everyone sharing a recipe that put carrots center stage.

Born from a failure to launch

This Roasted Carrot & Herby Feta Galette recipe was born out of a failed recipe attempt that left me feeling deflated and defeated. I tried and tried to make a Carrot Cake Ginger Loaf but it kept coming out looking like a meatloaf.

That sent me back to the drawing board and while scrolling my own site, I was inspired by this Feta Brined Chicken Skewers with Herby Feta Sauce. That Herby Feta Sauce has made all kinds of appearances in my kitchen beyond the original recipe. Then it hit me, what if I added this feta sauce to carrots? It turned out to be a brilliant move.

4 distinct components that make this galette extra special

All Butter Vodka Pie Dough

The base of this Roasted Carrot & Herby Feta Galette is made with my go-to, tried and true All Butter Vodka Pie Dough. It's tender, flaky, crispy and shatteringly satisfying in every pie, galette and hand pie it encounters. In this galette recipe, I like to add 1 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper to the all butter pie dough to give it an extra savory sensation. The warmth of the pepper peps up the buttery crust.

Roasted Rainbow Carrots

An array of small rainbow carrots bring a vibrant and springy vibe to this Roasted Carrot Galette. First, the small rainbow carrots are sliced in half lengthwise. Then they are drizzled in olive oil and salt and pepper. And roasted in the oven before layering on the galette. This allows the carrots to start to soften and release the natural sweetness that comes with roasting. It gives the carrots even more dimension.

If you can't find small rainbow carrots, you can replace with regular sized carrots. Simply slice the larger carrots into 6" long strips about ½" thick.

Herby Feta Sauce

This mouth watering mix is a flavor booster that ups any recipe. It works especially well in this Roasted Carrot & Herby Feta Galette because the super savory elements play perfectly against the natural sweetness of the roasted carrots and the buttery depth of the pie crust.

Made with a mix of feta, lemon, olive oil, parsley, dill, garlic and salt + pepper, this Herby Feta Sauce is a zesty flavor booster! It's a balanced mix of fresh, bright, grassy, earthy and zingy. AKA, everything I want in a savory recipe.

The finishing flair

Once the Roasted Carrot & Herby Feta Galette is baked, it's topped with more crumbles of feta, freshly snipped herbs and a sprinkle of nutty sesame seeds. This small touch adds a lively finish to the warm, savory Carrot Galette.

Naturally sweet carrots & the savory herb feta sauce are a brilliantly balanced flavor combo

With the natural sweetness of the roasted carrots layered against the super savory herby feta sauce, this recipe for Roasted Carrot & Herby Feta Galette packs a double punch of flavor depth. Since the whole deal is baked inside a hand formed, buttery crust, it's instantly comforting Each component works to enhance the others. What a special way to enjoy carrots, huh?

Assembling the Roasted Carrot & Herby Feta Galette

Because this is a rustic Carrot Galette, there is no need to be fussy about perfect edges or straight lines. Just be sure the dough is rolled out in a rectangular shape. The uneven edges give it more character and texture when folded over the carrots and baked.

Those rainbow carrots look gorgeous roasted then baked together in a rainbow stripe pattern. They give this rustic savory galette tons of personality and a soft, earthy sweet flavor. For the record, this Roasted Carrot & Herby Feta Galette is the ultimate Easter brunch showstopper. Consider baking it for Easter or really any occasion where you are looking to impress with both looks and flavor!

This carrot recipe was developed for a collaboration between a super talented crew of food bloggers.
