Yield: 2 servings
Ingredients: 2 medium carrots, shredded (about 2 cups); 1 tsp ground cumin; 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon; 1 tbsp honey, divided; 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, divided; 1 cup crumbled feta cheese; 1 tbsp fresh mint, finely chopped; 1 tsp preserved lemon, minced; 1/4 tsp white pepper; 1/4 cup pomegranate molasses; 1/4 tsp harissa paste; 4 sheets phyllo dough (thawed if frozen); 3 tbsp ghee, melted; Fleur de sel; 2 tbsp pomegranate seeds for garnish

Intermediate technique meets Moroccan soul: shredded carrot roasted with cumin and cinnamon until caramelized, folded into whipped feta with preserved lemon. Rolled tight in phyllo, brushed with ghee, and baked until crackling. A vibrant pomegranate molasses glaze (reduced with a touch of honey and harissa) provides sweet-tart-spiced finish.
