Rainbow Roasted Veggie Board

Notes

A showstopper sharing board built around four roasted vegetables arranged by color, draped over a cloud of whipped feta and finished with three distinct honeys. The chili honey does most of the heavy lifting — drizzle it last and liberally. Serves well warm or at room temperature, which makes it a great dinner party opener.

Ingredients

For the Vegetables: - 3–4 carrots, peeled and cut lengthwise - 2 zucchinis, thick sliced - 1 small cauliflower, cut into florets - 2 beets, roasted and sliced - 4 tbsp olive oil - 1 tsp salt - ½ tsp black pepper

For the Whipped Feta: - 200g feta cheese - ¾ cup Greek yogurt - 2 tbsp olive oil - 1 tbsp lemon juice

Three Honeys: - 2 tbsp honey (classic — straight up) - 2 tbsp honey + 1 tsp chili flakes (chili honey) - 2 tbsp honey + 1 tbsp lemon or orange juice (citrus honey)

Garnish: - Fresh herbs — parsley, thyme, or dill - Sesame seeds or crushed nuts - Cracked black pepper

Instructions

1. Roast the vegetables:
2. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
3. Arrange carrots, zucchini, cauliflower, and beets on baking trays — beets on their own tray unless you want everything purple.
4. Drizzle with olive oil, salt, and pepper.

5. Roast 25–35 minutes until caramelized and slightly crispy at the edges.

6. Make the whipped feta:

7. Blend feta, Greek yogurt, olive oil, and lemon juice until smooth and fluffy. Food processor works best — blender is fine. Taste and adjust lemon.

8. Prep the three honeys:

9. Leave one plain.
10. Mix one with chili flakes.

11. Mix one with citrus juice (warm it slightly if it doesn't blend easily).

12. Build the board:

13. Spread whipped feta across one side of the serving board in a thick swoosh.
14. Arrange roasted vegetables in colorful sections — think rainbow order, don't stress it.
15. Drizzle each section with a different honey.

16. Finish with herbs, seeds/nuts, and a crack of black pepper.

17. Serve warm.

Variations & Adaptations

• Swap the veg: Red onion wedges, asparagus, and bell peppers all roast beautifully in this range. Just match cook times.
• Make it vegan: Sub a cashew-based whipped "feta" and skip the yogurt. Flavor drops but the format holds.
• Tahini instead of whipped feta: Also excellent. Drizzle vs spread — different vibe, same logic.
• Miso honey: Mix 1 tsp white miso into one honey portion for an umami wild card that goes especially well over the cauliflower.
