Here’s how to make it:
INGREDIENTS (Serves 4–6)
Whipped goat cheese:
• 6 oz goat cheese, rind removed
• 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
• Zest of 1 lemon
• 1–2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
• Pinch of salt

DIRECTIONS
1️⃣ Roast the carrots: Toss baby carrots with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast at 400°F for 18–25 minutes, until tender and caramelized.
2️⃣ Whip the goat cheese: Blend goat cheese, Greek yogurt, lemon zest, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt until ultra-smooth and fluffy.
3️⃣ Glaze: Whisk maple syrup + POP Mustards SMOKED, then toss the hot carrots in the glaze so those whole mustard seeds cling to every carrot.
4️⃣ Plate: Spread the whipped goat cheese in a “well” on a large green plate. Nestle the glazed carrots into the cheese.
5️⃣ Finish: Top with pistachios, cilantro, mint, extra lemon zest, and a drizzle of olive oil.
