• For a milder spice level, reduce the amount of harissa paste or omit it altogether.
• You can customize the flavors by adding other spices or herbs to the harissa mixture, such as cumin or cilantro.

• To reheat, you can either microwave them for a few minutes or warm them in a skillet over medium heat.
• Serve the grilled carrots as a side dish with grilled meats, roasted chicken, or as a topping for salads and grain bowls.
