    Adjust the rack to the top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry all produce. Trim, peel, and cut carrots into sticks (like fries; ours were 3 inches long and 1/3 inch thick). Toss them on a baking sheet with a drizzle of cooking oil , 1/4 tsp harissa powder (1/2 tsp for 4 servings; we sent more), salt , and black pepper . TIP: For easy cleanup, line your baking sheet with foil or parchment paper. Roast on the top rack, tossing halfway through, until browned and tender, 15-20 minutes.
