Next, preheat your oven to 200°C. Wash and peel the baby carrots, then toss them in a bowl with olive oil, honey, salt, and pepper until they are well coated. Place the carrots on a baking sheet and roast them for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and caramelized.

Once the carrots are done, let them cool slightly before assembling the salad. In a large bowl, mix the roasted carrots with arugula, crumbled feta cheese, and toasted pine nuts. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar and extra olive oil, then toss gently to combine.
