What is Za’atar?

It’s a delicious, savory Mediterranean spice blend that has been around, well, since the beginning of time. But has, in recent years, become all the rage in the culinary field. And for good reason. It’s delicious! and very versatile. The spice blend consists of salt, toasted sesame seeds, ground sumac, oregano, marjoram and thyme.

And, as of late, I have been using it in just about everything! Enter these yummy grilled carrots. The recipe is quite simple but ohhhh so delicious!

How to make these yummy grilled carrots:

Start off by peeling, and washing about 8 large organic carrots. Cut the ends off and then cut in half lengthwise. Then place the carrots in a steamer and cook until just barely done, tender/crisp.

    I love the carrot recipe but I’m not into grilling. Can I roast the carrots indoors in my oven? Will it taste as good? How would you change the instructions if I roast the carrots? Thanks! Cathi

      I would recommend using a grill pan to get that nice char or putting them under the broiler for a few minutes on each side. For roasting in the oven, omit the steaming process, toss the raw carrots in the marinade, place in a single layer on parchment lined pan and roast at 425 degrees until tender/crisp.
      So good to hear from you ???? I really miss reading your posts!
