Side

Simple carrots get a serious glow-up with Spiceology Achiote Blend — its earthy, slightly smoky warmth transforms this humble root vegetable into a side dish that actually steals the show. A quick sear and a blast in a hot oven creates caramelized edges and a tender center worth talking about. Perfect alongside grilled proteins or as a bold standalone weeknight side.

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt
