Cooking steps

Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce.
Trim, peel, and cut carrots into sticks (like fries; ours were 3 inches long and ⅓ inch thick). Toss on a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, ¼ tsp harissa powder (½ tsp for 4 servings; we sent more), salt, and pepper. TIP: For easy cleanup, line your baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
Roast on top rack, tossing halfway through, until browned and tender, 15-20 minutes.
