About
Cumin seeds, coriander seeds, and fennel seeds or CCF are one of my favorite Ayurvedic herb blends for vegetables and tea. I love pairing them with additional ingredients, like cinnamon in this recipe. CCF is commonly enjoyed in Ayurveda because it helps digestion and strengthen agni!
How to Make
Gather the ingredients- carrots, peeler, cutting board, knife, sheet pan / tray, spices, s&p, EVOO.
Wash your hands.
Set the mood - Inhale deep into your belly three times. Visualize a plant or tree roots sprouting from the bottom of your feet and into the floor beneath you and into the soil.
