Harissa Honey Roasted Carrots

Ingredients

Ingredients

• 1.5 lb carrots
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp harissa paste
• 2 tbsp spicy honey
• 1 cup mixed fresh herbs (mint, cilantro, parsley)
• 1/4 cup shelled pistachios
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 Tsp ground cumin

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Trim the tops and ends of the carrots, leaving the skins on for texture if desired. If carrots are large, halve them lengthwise.
3. Toss the carrots with harissa, honey, olive oil, salt, cumin and pepper on the prepared baking sheet.
4. Roast the carrots for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized, flipping halfway through.
5. Prepare the herb pesto: In a food processor or by hand, blend 1 cup mixed fresh herbs (such as mint, cilantro, and parsley), 1/4 cup shelled pistachios, a dash of olive oil, a pinch of salt, and a squeeze of lemon juice until chunky.
6. Remove carrots from the oven and brush generously with any extra harissa honey glaze. Return to the oven for 2-3 minutes to set the glaze.
7. Transfer the glazed carrots to a serving platter and dollop the herb pesto on top. Serve warm.
