Roasted Carrots with Harissa and Tahini

Roasted Carrots with Harissa and Tahini

Roasted Carrots are the most delicious side dish you can make. They are delicious with rich holiday mains as well as weeknight dinners. And the best part is that they are virtually impossible to mess up. Toss the carrots with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and spread them out in a single layer on a large sheet tray. You want them to be evenly spaced out, so they don't get crowded. Don't crowd them too tightly because the liquid will release, and they'll become soggy and mushy.
