Sweet, earthy carrots meet bold Moroccan spices in this vibrant dish that’s as beautiful as it is flavorful. Roasted with golden turmeric, smoky cumin, and a hint of citrusy orange zest, the carrots become tender and caramelized—perfectly complemented by a cool, creamy layer of homemade labneh. A finishing touch of crunchy pistachios and a generous drizzle of kyoord’s high-phenolic olive oil brings it all together. Serve this as a colorful side, a vegetarian centerpiece, or part of a larger mezze spread—either way, it’s a showstopper.
