It’s pomegranate season again. Does that make you as happy as it does me? Pomegranate seeds are one of my favorite treats. They are like the original “Sweet Tarts” candy, full of sweet juiciness and a burst of tart flavor in every bite. In this recipe carrots are roasted in a lightly seasoned pomegranate glaze and then tossed with crunchy walnuts and fresh pomegranate seeds. Make it to enjoy now but keep in mind that the holidays are coming and this would be an ideal dish to add to your holiday menu too.
