Ingredients
  

FOR THE THANKSGIVING CRISPY CHILI OIL

  • ½ cup La Española Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 2 springs sprigs Rosemary
  • 12 leaves Sage
  • 5 springs Thyme
  • 2 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
  • 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Demerara Sugar
  • ½ teaspoon Poultry Seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon Everything Spice
  • ½ teaspoon Kosher Salt

FOR THE CARROTS

  • 2 lbs Baby Rainbow Carrots peeled
  • 2 tablespoon La Española Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • ¼ teaspoon Fresh Cracked Black Pepper
  • ¼ cup Honey
  • 3 oz Goat Cheese Crumbled

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 425F degrees.
  • To a small heat proof bowl of jar, add red pepper flakes, smoked paprika, Demerara sugar, poultry seasoning, everything spice, and kosher salt. Set aside.
  • Add olive oil to a small sauce pan and heat it over medium. Once hot, around 300F degrees, add rosemary, sage and thyme. Fry for a few minutes or until the herbs are crispy and fragrant. Remove the herbs from the oil and set on a paper towel to dry.
  • Once herbs are removed, turn the heat off and carefully pour the hot oil over the jar of spices. Stir and let cool.
  • Meanwhile, add carrots to a baking sheet and toss with olive oil, salt, pepper and garlic powder.
  • Once coated, bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown and fork tender.
  • Once cooked, remove from the heat and drizzle with honey and toss to coat.
  • Now, add those crispy fried herbs back into the cooled chili crisp oil and stir.
  • Place the honey roasted carrots on a platter and top with crumbled goat cheese and a few spoonfuls of the Thanksgiving Chili Crisp before serving. Season with more salt and pepper if necessary.
