Za’atar Roasted Carrots with Lemon-Honey Drizzle

Ingredients

["2 lbs. carrots peeled and halved lengthwise (or use colorful heirloom varieties)" 2 Tbsp. olive oil For the lemon-honey drizzle: 1 Tbsp. olive oil Optional garnish: 1 Tbsp. toasted pine nuts or pistachios 2 Tbsp. crumbled feta or labneh swirls Freshly chopped parsley "Extra Za’atar Seasoning for finishing"]

Za'atar

Fine Black Malabar Pepper

Kosher Salt

Pomegranate Molasses

Directions

Step 1 Preheat & Prep: Preheat oven to 450°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment or foil. Toss the carrots with olive oil, Za’atar Seasoning, and a bit of Fine Black Malabar Pepper until evenly coated.

Step 2 Roast & Char: Spread carrots in a single layer, cut side down. Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping once halfway through. You want deep caramelization and slight char on the edges.

Step 3 Make the Drizzle: In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, zest, honey, and olive oil. Set aside.

Step 4 Finish & Serve: Transfer carrots to a serving platter. Drizzle with the lemon-honey mixture while warm. Sprinkle with flaky Kosher Salt and finish with your choice of toppings.
