6. Toast almonds in almonds in a pan on low heat until golden

7. Finely mince mint and parsley

8. Put cooked carrots on a nice plate and top with almonds,

Note: if you can’t find bunches of carrots it is ok to just use whole carrots. If you don’t have preserved lemon substitute with lemon zest and lemon juice. If you would like a little touch of heat add ½ fresh red fresno chili or ½ teaspoon of crushed chili flakes. Serve with tahini yogurt or just tahini for vegans.
