Provided by American Pecans

Number Of Ingredients 13

Main Dish
2 Pounds of small carrots (about 2 bunches), peeled, cut into 3-inch pieces
2 Large red onions, each cut through root end into 8 wedges
1 Fennel bulb, cut into ½ - inch wedges
4 Tbsp. of pecan or olive oil
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
1 Tsp. of coriander seeds, coarsely chopped
½ Tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
½ Tsp. Hungarian hot paprika (optional)
2 Tbsp. of sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar
¾ Cup of raw pecans pieces
1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
2 Tbsp. torn mint leaves

Steps:

  • Main Dish
  • Preheat oven to 425°. Place carrots on a rimmed baking sheet and onions and fennel on another rimmed baking sheet. (Make sure to give them plenty of room, which is key to roasted veggies with nicely browned edges.) Drizzle vegetables with 2 Tbsp. of pecan or olive oil, dividing evenly; season with salt and pepper. Roast, tossing occasionally, until golden brown and tender, 20-25 minutes for carrots and 35-45 minutes for onions and fennel. Let cool.
  • Meanwhile, cook pecans, coriander seeds, crushed red pepper flakes, paprika, and remaining 2 Tbsp. of pecan or olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat, stirring often, until oil is gently bubbling around seeds and spices are fragrant (be careful not to burn), about 2 minutes. Let cool. Stir in red wine vinegar and lemon juice; season vinaigrette with salt and pepper.
  • Combine roasted carrots, fennel, and onions onto the same baking sheet, drizzle vinaigrette over, and toss to coat well; transfer to a platter.
  • Just before serving, re-toss vegetables to pull up any dressing that may have settled at the bottom of the platter and scatter torn mint over top.
