Yield Serves 6-8

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 teaspoon grated orange zest, plus 1 1/2 teaspoons orange juice
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 pound carrots, peeled
1 pound parsnips, peeled
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F.
  • In a small bowl, combine butter, orange zest, orange juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; stir well to combine. Set the citrus butter aside.
  • Peel the carrots and parsnips and cut them lengthwise into long wedges, which that will get a bit browned and crisp at the ends. If I am roasting young carrots small enough to cook whole or halved lengthwise, I like to leave a half inch or so of the greens attached-looks pretty. Parsnips will cook at about the same rate as carrots, so cut them into similar-size pieces.
  • On a rimmed baking sheet, toss vegetables with oil; season with 1 teaspoon salt and toss again. Spread the vegetables flat and roast until tender and lightly browned (and more than lightly browned on the thinner edges), tossing halfway through, 20 to 30 minutes. If they seem to be getting too browned before tender, sprinkle them with a little water and keep roasting.
  • When vegetables are roasted, place in a warmed dish and spoon the citrus butter on, tossing them gently to melt the butter and coat the roots. Serve warm.

SLOW-ROASTED CARROTS WITH BROWN-BUTTER VINAIGRETTE



Slow-Roasted Carrots With Brown-Butter Vinaigrette image

Elevating vegetables to star status is a better display of your culinary chops - and a more unconventional and surprising one - than showcasing a piece of meat. These are an adaptation of the "forgotten carrots" served by Neil Borthwick at Merchants Tavern in London; they actually do require a little bit of attention.

Categories     weekday, side dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pounds large carrots
3 tablespoons olive oil
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter,plus 3 extra tablespoons for roastingthe carrots
2 cardamom pods
2 star anise
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons sherry vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons chervil leaves orchopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 325. Scrub the carrots, and peel them if you like (it really doesn't matter). Set a roasting pan over two burners on medium heat; put the olive oil in the pan. When the oil is hot, add the carrots and cook, turning as they brown, until lightly caramelized all over, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Add 3 tablespoons butter, spices, salt and pepper. Transfer the roasting pan to the oven, and cook, shaking the pan once or twice, until the carrots are crinkly on the outside and you can pierce them easily with the tip of a sharp knife, 45 to 60 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, put 1 stick butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally until the butter foam subsides and the butter turns nut brown, about 5 minutes. Turn off the heat.
  • Put brown butter, vinegar, Dijon, salt and pepper in a blender. Blend until a creamy emulsion forms, about 30 seconds; taste, and adjust the seasoning. Put the carrots on a platter, drizzle the vinaigrette over the top and garnish with the chervil or parsley, and serve.

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 pounds carrots, preferably small young ones, peeled and split crosswise
Kosher salt
2 garlic cloves, chopped
2 scallions, thinly sliced, white and green parts separated
¼ cup mirin (Japanese rice wine)

Cook until thickened and reduced by half, 1 to 2 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-low, and add the miso, whisking until smooth. Add the butter, a few pieces at a time, whisking to incorporate into a thick sauce, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the vinegar.
  • Return the carrots to the skillet and toss to coat with the glaze. Taste and adjust seasoning. Sprinkle with remaining scallion greens and serve.

BUTTER ROASTED CARROTS



BUTTER ROASTED CARROTS image

Categories     Side     Roast     Carrot

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

2C diagonally cut carrots
1T butter, melted
1t olive oil
1/4t salt and pepper (each)
Cooking spray

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425*. Combine first 5 ingredients on a baking sheet coated with spray. Bake at 425* for 15 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Carrots: For the best results, select fresh, firm, and medium-sized carrots. Avoid carrots that are too thick or have blemishes.
  • Prep the Carrots: Before roasting, peel and cut the carrots into uniform-sized pieces or shapes. This will ensure even cooking.
  • Use Quality Butter: Opt for unsalted butter to control the saltiness of the dish. Soften the butter at room temperature before mixing it with the carrots. This helps the butter coat the carrots evenly.
  • Season Wisely: Use a combination of herbs and spices to enhance the flavor of the carrots. Common options include garlic, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Experiment with different seasonings to find your favorite blend.
  • Roast at High Heat: Roasting the carrots at a high temperature (400°F or 200°C) helps caramelize them, creating a delicious browned exterior while keeping them tender on the inside.
  • Toss During Roasting: To ensure even cooking and prevent the carrots from sticking to the pan, toss them gently halfway through the roasting process.
  • Monitor Cooking Time: Roasting time may vary depending on the size and thickness of the carrots. Check for doneness by piercing them with a fork; they should be tender but still retain a slight bite.

Conclusion:

This recipe for butter-roasted carrots offers a simple yet flavorful side dish that complements various main courses. By following the tips mentioned above, you can create perfectly roasted carrots that are tender, caramelized, and bursting with flavor. So, gather your ingredients, preheat your oven, and get ready to enjoy this delicious and colorful dish!
