Notes
- Falvor Variations: Once carrots are roasted, you can play with flavors as you like. I like savory warm flavors with roasted carrots, that's why I used turmeric and harissa. I have also used a combination of cumin and coriander with a little oregano. And if you're in the mood for something on the sweet side, add a dash of cinnamon with nutmeg and a drizzle of warm honey to your roasted carrots.
