Method

  1. Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Cut off most of the green carrot tops, leaving about 2·5cm (1in) remaining.
  2. Slice the carrots in half, lengthways. Toss with the olive oil, spices and seeds, then arrange in a single layer on a baking tray. Season well. Roast for 20 minutes, then drizzle with the honey and cook for 5 minutes more, until the edges are golden.
  3. Arrange the carrots and rocket in a serving dish. Crumble over the goat’s cheese and serve with the lemon wedges.
