Roasted Carrots
Carrots are making a serious comeback. When I was a kid, my mom's carrots were kept very simple. Boiled with a little butter and MAYBE a sprinkle of brown sugar. Now that I think about it, they sound DELICIOUS but carrots have become fancy and elevated and I am here for it. There are tons of roasted carrot recipes out there but I think mine is extra special with the addition of dukkah (and everything else). They will quickly become your new fave side dish!
