This Whipped Feta with Honey Roasted Roots is your favorite snacky’s favorite snacky. It’s kinda wacky actually, that a snacky would actively choose a snacky that’s the snackiest snacky. You might think it’s tacky to be so distracting but we’re saying an abstract thing can be this exacting when it’s reacting to other snackies.

Whipped Feta with Honey Roasted Roots
- Preheat oven to 350ºF.

- Spread veggies onto a foil-lined sheet pan and roast at 450° for 18-20 minutes, or until tender.
- Whisk together other 1 Tbsp butter in with 1 Tbsp hot honey.
- Remove veggies from oven. Sprinkle 1/4 cup fresh herbs and drizzle honey-butter mixture over them. Return to oven for 5-8 minutes or until honey has slightly caramelized. Remove from oven and set aside.
- Combine feta, cream cheese, sour cream, and 2 Tbsp fresh herbs. Use a hand mixer to mix until smooth. Set aside.
