Ingredients
  

1 lb (about 450g) carrots, peeled and cut into sticks or rounds

3 tablespoons harissa paste

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and black pepper, to taste

Fresh cilantro or parsley, for garnish

Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

    Prepare the Carrots: In a large bowl, combine the grated carrots with olive oil, honey (or maple syrup), harissa paste, ground cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the carrots are evenly coated with the mixture.

      Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned carrots in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Ensure the carrots are not overcrowded to promote even roasting.

        Roast the Carrots: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 20-25 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and caramelized, turning them halfway through for even cooking.

          Serve: Once roasted, remove the carrots from the oven and toss them in the pan. Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley. Serve warm with lemon wedges on the side for a zesty kick!
