- ½ tsp Dry oregano
- Pinch of sea salt
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F).

- Brush the carrots with the mixture and place them on a lined tray.

Notes
Use organic carrots for the best flavour and nutrient density.
Don’t cook with honey to preserve its live enzymes — maple syrup is a heat-safe, vegan alternative.
Perfect with roasted meats, lentil salads, or Mediterranean platters.
