MY OTHER RECIPES
Guys. These carrots are BEYOND amazing. Honestly I didn’t know such a basic vegetable could be so addicting, but Abra and I kept going back for more when we were lunching on them last week.
What makes these carrots so insanely good? Rainbow carrots. Yes, you can use all orange ones as well, but I love the beautiful fall colors that rainbow carrots add to the table.
Next, the creamy, crunchy combination (say that 5 times fast) of the goat cheese and pistachios. There’s something truly magical about this combo that makes every bite the perfect bite.
Finally, the hint of lemon zest brings out each individual flavor for the perfect touch. You guys are going to love these! Serve them up next to that big turkey, or just make them for a delicious side dish for your weeknight dinner. It’s always a good time to celebrate with feel-good food. Enjoy!
