Haitian Veggie Bowl with Pikliz-Glazed Roasted Carrots

Posted by Manjeri Skincare Team on

Benefits: Pikliz brine offers fermented probiotics that support gut health and clearer skin. Carrots are rich in beta-carotene, which converts to vitamin A to boost radiance, while coconut rice delivers healthy fats that nourish the skin barrier.
