A vibrant and flavorful salad featuring roasted carrots and beetroot, topped with salty feta cheese and crunchy walnuts.
Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F).
In a large bowl, toss the chopped carrots and beetroot with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey (if using), thyme, salt, and pepper. Ensure vegetables are evenly coated.
Spread the vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Roast for 30-35 minutes, or until the carrots and beetroot are tender and slightly caramelized. Turn the vegetables halfway through roasting to ensure even cooking.
Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
Transfer the roasted vegetables to a serving bowl.
Sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese and chopped walnuts.
Garnish with fresh parsley.
Serve warm or at room temperature.

For easier cleanup, line the baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roast the beetroot and carrots separately if you prefer less color transfer from the beetroot. Beetroot can stain other vegetables.
Add other vegetables like red onion or parsnips for more variety.
Try different types of nuts, such as pecans or almonds, instead of walnuts.
