CITRUS RAINBOW CARROTS



Citrus Rainbow Carrots image

I grow lots of carrots and I'm always experimenting with ways to serve them. The first time I made this citrusy recipe for my husband, he said it tasted like Christmas! Although he calls them my "Christmas Carrots," they're tasty anytime; I especially like serving them at Easter, with the array of carrots available in early spring. It's easy to prepare, and can easily be doubled to serve a large group. To save time, I sometimes dice the carrots several days in advance. -Sue Gronholz, Beaver Dam, Wisconsin

Time 1h15m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pound sourdough bread, cut or torn into bite-size pieces
3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil (divided)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 pounds small mixed-color carrots, halved lengthwise
1 tablespoon coriander seeds, crushed
2 teaspoons cumin seeds
1 orange, cut into wedges
1 lemon, halved
1/3 cup champagne vinegar
1 shallot, minced
1 1/2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
4 ripe but firm Hass avocados, pitted, peeled, and cut into wedges
4 cups watercress, thick stems removed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • On a large rimmed baking sheet, toss the bread with 1/4 cup of the olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper. Spread in an even layer and bake for about 12 minutes, until golden and almost crisp. Transfer to a bowl and let cool. Keep the oven on.
  • Meanwhile, in a large bowl, toss the carrots, 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, and the coriander and cumin seeds. Squeeze the orange and lemon over the carrots, then add the squeezed fruit to the bowl, too. Season generously with salt and pepper and toss to mix. Spread on two large rimmed baking sheets and roast for about 25 minutes, until lightly charred and tender. Let cool; discard the orange and lemon.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, shallot, mustard, and the remaining 6 tablespoons olive oil. Season the vinaigrette with salt and pepper.

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.

CROCK POT GLAZED CARROTS



Crock Pot Glazed Carrots image

This recipe is posted as part of a challenge during ZWT8 for France Region. I used Bayhill's recipe (Recipe #232735) as the base for changing her dish to a crockpot dish. I did tweak a few ingredients while making this in the crockpot as I felt the brown sugar would work better than granulated and added cinnamon as it reminds me of another recipe I have posted on Zaar.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, flavorful peaches and carrots: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the final dish. Look for peaches that are fragrant and have a slight give when you press them. Carrots should be firm and brightly colored.
  • Don't overcook the carrots: Carrots should be cooked until tender but still slightly crunchy. Overcooking will make them mushy and bland.
  • Use a variety of citrus fruits: The combination of orange, lemon, and lime juice adds a bright and complex flavor to the dish. You can also use grapefruit or tangerine juice if you like.
  • Add a touch of honey or maple syrup: A little bit of sweetness helps to balance out the tartness of the citrus fruits. You can also use agave nectar or brown sugar if you prefer.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is made. The carrots will lose their crunch if they sit for too long.

Conclusion:

This citrus peach carrot recipe is a delicious and refreshing side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a healthy and flavorful side dish, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
