These Harissa & Honey Roasted Carrots with Labneh & Dukkah were one of the best selling dishes at DEZ. I love the combination of the sweet carrots, highlighted by the honey and balanced with the spicy harissa, bitter char, tangy, creamy labneh and nutty, crunchy dukkah. It really is a special dish and turns the simple carrot into a very sexy vegetable. You won’t look at carrots the same way again. I promise.
