Let's see.
I do often write long descriptions, but now I'd cut most and distribute them only when the details become relevant.
I'd also simplify most descriptions. If I can describe something in five words, I wouldn't do it in twenty. Maybe ten, but that's only for flavor. I'd avoid anything more.
So, let's apply those principles to your first paragraph:
suggestion said:
The desert sands turned into molten gold in the dying light. Elissa closed the creaking stove door, causing a faint hiss as the escaped heat met the cool evening air. Inside, slices of roasted dustjackal meat sizzled. The aroma mixed with the dry, earthy scent of the small home carved into the rock.
Still long, but easier to read.
First sentence, you don't actually need to describe the dipping sun most of the time, because "molten gold in the dying light" already implied that.
Second sentence is a rearrangement. Still easier to read. When we're talking about a stove, you'd close it by pushing it, not pulling it, unless you're some sort of fire elemental doing the cooking inside the stove lol. That's why you don't tell readers she pushed that, it could be implied.
Third sentence, you don't have to describe it as a "rare treat". Is it relevant later? Will a character notice or say that it's rare later? If yes, good. If not, it's still redundant and irrelevant, might as well not include it.
Fourth sentence is fine as is.
Now apply the same principles to most of your descriptions, and you'd be surprised how many redundant words you could shave off them

Only ten chapters in, but I got another 40 chapters on backlog, just going to be dropping those over time.
