Categories     side-dish

Time 1h55m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound carrots, with the greens attached
1 pound thin parsnips
1/3 cup small-diced shallots (1 large)
2 teaspoons grated orange zest
1 1/4 cups freshly squeezed orange juice, divided (3 oranges)
1/3 cup good olive oil
6 sprigs fresh thyme, tied with kitchen string
Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons minced fresh flat-leaf parsley, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.
  • Trim and scrub or peel the carrots and parsnips. If the parsnips are thick, slice them in half or quarters lengthwise so they are about the same width as the carrots.
  • Place the carrots and parsnips in a pot or Dutch oven, such as Le Creuset, that's large enough for the vegetables to lie flat. Add the shallots, orange zest, 3/4 cup of the orange juice, the olive oil, thyme, red pepper flakes, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  • Place the pot on the stove and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cover tightly with a lid or heavy-duty foil. Transfer to the oven and cook for 1 1/2 hours, until the carrots and parsnips are very tender. Discard the thyme bundle. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup of orange juice and the parsley and season to taste. Serve hot, warm, or at room temperature.

Categories     side-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 5 minutes

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 bunches carrots, peeled
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons honey
Kosher salt
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
1 teaspoon grated orange zest
1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Cut the carrots diagonally in 1-inch-thick slices. You should have about 5 cups of carrots. Place 1/2 cup water, the butter, honey, 2 teaspoons of salt, and the ginger in a large saute pan and bring to a boil. Add the carrots, cover the pan, and simmer over medium-low heat for 5 minutes. Remove the lid and continue to cook for about 20 minutes, or until all the water has evaporated. You may want to raise the heat for the last 5 minutes.
  • Add the orange zest and orange juice to the pan, tossing with the carrots. Simmer uncovered for about 5 minutes, until the carrots are al dente (tender but still resistant when you bite) and the sauce glazes the carrots. Add the pepper and another teaspoon of salt, to taste.

ROASTED CARROTS AND PARSNIPS WITH CITRUS BUTTER



Roasted Carrots and Parsnips with Citrus Butter image

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.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, high-quality carrots and parsnips. Look for carrots that are firm and brightly colored, and parsnips that are smooth and free of blemishes.
  • Peel and cut the carrots and parsnips into uniform pieces. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Use a large skillet or roasting pan to cook the carrots and parsnips. This will give them plenty of room to brown and caramelize.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you overcrowd the pan, the carrots and parsnips will steam instead of roast.
  • Roast the carrots and parsnips at a high temperature. This will help them caramelize and develop a delicious flavor.
  • Stir the carrots and parsnips occasionally during roasting. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Make sure the carrots and parsnips are tender before removing them from the oven. You can check this by piercing them with a fork. If they are tender, they are ready to serve.
  • Serve the carrots and parsnips immediately. They are best enjoyed hot out of the oven.

Conclusion:

Orange glazed carrots and parsnips are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are roasted at a high temperature until they are tender and caramelized, and then glazed with a sweet and tangy orange glaze. The result is a dish that is both flavorful and visually appealing. So next time you are looking for a delicious and healthy side dish, give orange glazed carrots and parsnips a try.
