2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

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.

Tips:

  • Choosing the Right Carrots: Select young, tender carrots with smooth skin and a bright orange color. Avoid carrots that are limp or have blemishes.
  • Preparing the Carrots: Scrub the carrots well under running water to remove any dirt or debris. Trim off the tops and bottoms, then cut the carrots into 2-inch pieces.
  • Cooking the Carrots: Bring a pot of water to a boil, add the carrots, and cook until they are tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes. Drain the carrots and set them aside.
  • Making the Glaze: In a saucepan, combine the butter, brown sugar, honey, orange juice, orange zest, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar has dissolved. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the glaze has thickened slightly.
  • Glazing the Carrots: Add the cooked carrots to the glaze and stir to coat. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the carrots are evenly glazed.
  • Serving: Transfer the glazed carrots to a serving dish and garnish with fresh parsley or chopped nuts. Serve immediately while warm.

Conclusion:

The carrots are tender-crisp and coated in a flavorful glaze made with butter, brown sugar, honey, orange juice, and spices. This recipe is easy to follow and can be tailored to your own preferences.

No matter how you choose to prepare them, these glazed carrots are sure to be a hit at your next dinner party or holiday gathering.
