Peel and prepare the carrots for roasting. Place in the oven. Simmer the lentils and chop the nuts. Prepare the dressing and fold altogether. Serve with the carrots alongside. Substitute maple syrup for the honey to make this vegan.
Roasting carrots brings out their sweetness, but a bit of honey turns them into candy. We tease this is technically dessert, rather than a side dish. Use agave nectar or even maple syrup instead of honey for a vegan choice. Try using a chunky salt, such as kosher or sea salt which will make every bite slightly sweet & salty.
Slightly sweet with lots of toasty crunch from the almonds. Add bits of fresh vegetables or herbs that you have available to make this salad even bigger and more substantial. Any lentils can work for this but we used French lentils.
