Roasted Carrots with Harissa Pomegranate Glaze
Time to jazz up your carrot side dish. The harissa paste gives a little kick of spice that is balanced out nicely by the tartness of the pomegranate molasses. You can typically find both of these ingredients in the imported section of your grocery store (they are Middle Eastern ingredients).
