As I strolled through the Trader Joe’s produce aisle, I found myself captivated by a bunch of meticulously cleaned, equally-sized, colorful carrots that resembled lollipops. I knew I had to bring them home and celebrate their vibrant beauty with a Mediterranean-inspired dish—a simple and joyful culinary experience.

Ingredients:
- 8 colorful petite carrots
- ¼ cup olive oil
- ¼ cup pine nuts
- Salt to taste
- Red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Toss all ingredients together, excluding the pine nuts.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the carrots evenly.
- Bake for approximately 25 minutes. Five minutes before removing from the oven, add the pine nuts and turn the carrots to ensure even roasting.
