FIVE-SPICE ROASTED CARROTS WITH TOASTED ALMONDS



Five-Spice Roasted Carrots With Toasted Almonds image

A complex combination of fennel seeds, anise, clove, cinnamon and Szechuan peppercorns, five-spice powder is a crucial ingredient in the Chinese pantry that also happens to be deeply versatile. It can be used as a dry rub for roast chicken, tossed with sautéed vegetables or sprinkled over toasted nuts. Here, five-spice powder, along with a bright splash of vinegar and ginger, dresses up simple roasted carrots. Preheating your baking sheet in the oven will help caramelize and crisp your vegetables, and will also speed up cooking time.

Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon five-spice powder
2 garlic cloves, grated
Kosher salt
2 bunches carrots (about 2 pounds), trimmed and scrubbed, halved lengthwise if large
1/4 cup unsalted, raw almonds
1/4 cup sliced chives (about 1 small bunch)
1 to 2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger

Steps:

  • Arrange one oven rack at the top and one at the bottom of the oven. Place a baking sheet on the bottom rack and heat the oven to 425 degrees.
  • In large bowl, stir together 2 tablespoons olive oil with the five-spice powder, garlic and 1 teaspoon salt. Add the carrots and toss to coat. Transfer carrots to the hot baking sheet and arrange in an even layer and roast, on the bottom rack, until the carrots are tender and browned all over, 20 to 25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  • While carrots are roasting, toast almonds on a separate baking sheet, on the top rack, until golden brown, 7 to 8 minutes. Allow to cool, then finely chop and transfer to a large bowl or serving platter. Add the chives, vinegar, ginger and remaining olive oil to the almonds, and season with salt. Add roasted carrots and toss to coat. Serve hot.

Tips:

  • Choose the right carrots: Look for young, tender carrots with smooth skin and no blemishes. Avoid large, woody carrots, as they will not be as flavorful.
  • Wash and peel the carrots: Scrub the carrots well under running water to remove any dirt or debris. Then, use a vegetable peeler to remove the skin.
  • Cut the carrots into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly. You can cut the carrots into rounds, slices, or chunks, depending on your preference.
  • Blanch the carrots: Blanching the carrots in boiling water for a few minutes will help to tenderize them and bring out their natural sweetness. This step is optional, but it is recommended if you want to achieve the best flavor and texture.
  • Use good quality honey: The honey you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish. Look for a raw, unfiltered honey with a strong, floral aroma.
  • Don't overcook the carrots: Overcooked carrots will be mushy and bland. Cook them just until they are tender-crisp, about 10 minutes.

Conclusion:

Almond honey carrots are a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed all year round. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you prefer them sweet, savory, or somewhere in between, these carrots are sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a simple but flavorful side dish, give almond honey carrots a try!
