These roasted carrots have everything you’d want in a recipe. Fresh produce, a spicy-sweet sauce. Some crunch from both nuts and fruit. It feels festive for the holidays, or just extra special during your regular weeknight meal.
Toss carrots with fresh winter oranges, garlic, fennel seeds, and maple syrup, blended with lots of harissa, a spiced North African chili pepper paste. Roast everything together to be rewarded with a perfectly caramelized carrot.

I’m looking at all the recipes & they look fabulous, but do you have a recipe for Napa cabbage?
Hi Peggy, great question! Here’s a blog post with our 12 favorite cabbage recipes: https://blog.misfitsmarket.com/2020/02/21/what-the-heck-do-i-do-with-this-cabbage/
Because the Napa cabbage is closely related to bok choy, you could actually use Napa cabbage in recipes that call for bok choy. The cooking time and flavor might vary slightly, but should be just as delicious. Happy cooking!
I want to change/cancel my order. How do I do this? Thank you, Risa Ehrlich
