Dark honeys, like buckwheat, bring a touch of earthy sweetness to these lightly glazed beauties. The gremolata, made with the frilly green carrot tops, make a delicious and pretty finishing touch while adding to your #wasteless repertoire. If bunched carrots with tops aren't available, use parsley for the gremolata instead.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 30m

Yield 2 pounds carrots, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2-2 lbs baby carrots
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
4 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons packed brown sugar
1/2 lemon, juice of
fresh ground black pepper or chopped parsley, for garnish

Steps:

  • Rinse carrots under cold water and put in a medium saucepan. Cover with water and add salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and continue cooking for about 15 minutes, or until tender. Drain and set aside.
  • In a saute pan, melt butter over medium-low heat. Add honey and brown sugar and cook, stirring, until sugar is dissolved. Add the lemon juice and gently stir in carrots, coating well. Continue heating, gently stirring, until carrots are hot and glazed. Serve immediately garnished with freshly ground pepper or chopped parsley, if desired.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Carrots: Look for fresh, vibrant carrots with smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid carrots that are limp or have dark spots.
  • Clean and Peel the Carrots Properly: Scrub the carrots thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris. Use a vegetable peeler to remove the outer layer of the carrot, taking care not to remove too much of the flesh.
  • Slice the Carrots Uniformly: Cut the carrots into even-sized pieces to ensure even cooking. For a more visually appealing dish, consider slicing the carrots on a diagonal.
  • Roast the Carrots at a High Temperature: Roasting the carrots at a high temperature helps caramelize the natural sugars and create a slightly charred exterior, resulting in a sweet and flavorful dish.
  • Make the Honey Glaze: Combine honey, butter, and spices to create a flavorful glaze that will coat the carrots and add a touch of sweetness. Brush the glaze over the carrots during the roasting process to ensure even distribution.
  • Prepare the Carrot Top Gremolata: Finely chop the carrot tops, garlic, and parsley to create a vibrant and aromatic gremolata. Sprinkle the gremolata over the roasted carrots before serving to add a burst of flavor and color.

Conclusion:

Honey-glazed carrots with carrot top gremolata is a simple yet elegant dish that showcases the natural flavors of fresh carrots.
