For extra crispy carrots, ensure they are dry before tossing with oil and spices. Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to your spice preference. The tahini-lemon sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Experiment with other vegetables like broccoli or Brussels sprouts for a different twist.
