My family loves this roasted carrot recipe that takes a simple ingredient and elevates it to create something special. The carrots are tossed in my Persian-inspired spice blend, caramelized to perfection, then finished with tangy pomegranate molasses, arils, walnuts and mint. The result is a bright, elegant side dish that is perfect for every day meals or entertaining. I hope you enjoy!

Persian Lime, Sumac & Rose Seasoning
spice blend collab
A vibrant Persian-inspired seasoning that brings together tangy sumac, aromatic lime, and warm spices, finished with delicate rose petals. Bright citrus notes are balanced with savory depth from onion and garlic, creating a well-rounded blend that enhances everything from roasted vegetables to grilled meats. Designed to be both distinctive and versatile, it brings a modern expression of classic Persian flavor to everyday cooking. Shake gently before use to ensure even distribution of spices and rose petals. For best flavor, cook with oil or add during cooking to prevent rose petals from scorching. Optional, but recommended: Lightly crush with a mortar and pestle before use.
