HOW TO MAKE IT
Preheat oven to 400. Slice carrots lengthwise in half, or into quarters if using larger carrots. Toss carrots in 1 tbsp olive oil, lemon zest, salt and pepper. Arrange in a single layer on baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Roast for about 15-20 minutes until fork-tender. Make the dressing by whisking together lemon juice, remaining olive oil, honey and spices until well mixed. In a large bowl, toss the salad greens, radishes, beets, chickpeas, oranges and mint with the dressing. Plate and top with several carrots. Garnish with additional mint, almonds and rose petals, if desired.
