ROASTED CARROTS



Roasted Carrots image

This dish is inspired by a roasted carrot antipasto I recently sampled at Oliveto Cafe in Oakland, Calif. The roasted carrots were tossed with lots of parsley and thyme, and I loved the way those bitter herbs offset the sweetness of the carrots.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     easy, side dish

Time 1h

Yield Serves six

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 pounds carrots, peeled quartered or cut into sixths lengthwise depending on the size, then into 2-inch lengths
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Salt
freshly ground pepper
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, chopped
1/2 teaspoon oregano
3 tablespoons finely chopped flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Oil a sheet pan or a baking dish large enough to fit all of the carrots in a single layer. Place the carrots in a large bowl, and toss with the olive oil, salt, pepper, thyme and oregano.
  • Spread in an even layer in the prepared pan or baking dish. Cover with foil, and place in the oven for 30 minutes. Uncover, and if the carrots are not yet tender, turn the heat down to 375 degrees and return to the oven for 10 to 15 more minutes until tender. Add the parsley, stir gently, and taste and adjust salt and pepper. Serve hot, warm or at room temperature.

CHEF JOHN'S BOURBON GLAZED CARROTS



Chef John's Bourbon Glazed Carrots image

These butter-soaked bourbon-glazed carrots are the greatest special-occasion carrot side dish of all time. Sweet, savory, and oh so glossy.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     Side Dish     Vegetables     Carrots     Glazed Carrot Recipes

Time 25m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

½ cup butter
2 pounds carrots, peeled, cut into equal-sized pieces
½ teaspoon salt, or more to taste
½ cup bourbon whiskey
⅓ cup brown sugar
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 sprigs fresh thyme leaves for garnish

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat.
  • When butter foams up, add carrots. Season with salt and cook, stirring, until liquid from carrots evaporates and carrots begin to brown around the edges, 5 or 6 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low. Carefully pour in bourbon. Cook and stir until bourbon is almost evaporated, about 2 minutes.
  • Sprinkle in brown sugar. Stir until carrots are almost cooked through, about 5 minutes.
  • When carrots are nearly tender, raise heat to medium-high to thicken the glaze, 15 to 30 seconds.

Tips for Perfect Baked Brandy Carrots:

  • Select the Right Carrots: Choose fresh, young carrots with a vibrant orange color and no blemishes. Smaller carrots cook more evenly.
  • Trim and Peel: Trim the carrot tops and peel them if desired. Leaving the skin on adds a bit of extra flavor and nutrients.
  • Cut Evenly: Cut the carrots into uniform pieces so they cook evenly. Aim for similar-sized pieces for consistent texture.
  • Use Good Quality Brandy: Opt for a flavorful brandy that you enjoy drinking. A good brandy will enhance the taste of the carrots.
  • Don't Skimp on Butter: Butter adds richness and helps brown the carrots. Use unsalted butter to control the saltiness of the dish.
  • Season Wisely: Keep the seasoning simple with salt, pepper, and a touch of herbs like thyme or rosemary. Over-seasoning can overpower the delicate flavor of the carrots.
  • Roast at High Heat: High heat caramelizes the carrots and gives them a slightly crispy exterior while keeping the interiors tender.
  • Monitor the Cooking: Keep an eye on the carrots as they roast. They should be tender but still slightly firm when pierced with a fork.
  • Garnish and Serve: Garnish the roasted carrots with fresh herbs like parsley or mint. Serve immediately while they're hot and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Baked brandy carrots are an easy yet elegant side dish that can elevate any meal. The combination of sweet carrots, aromatic brandy, and rich butter creates a symphony of flavors that will impress your taste buds. Follow these tips to ensure perfectly roasted carrots every time. Experiment with different herbs and spices to add your own personal touch to this classic recipe. Whether you're hosting a special occasion dinner or simply looking for a delightful weeknight side, baked brandy carrots are sure to be a hit.
