ROASTED CARROTS AND RED ONION WITH BALSAMIC VINEGAR



Roasted Carrots and Red Onion With Balsamic Vinegar image

I made this last year for the holidays, and it was terrific! I added the garlic (of course!) I use a combo of the butter and the olive oil, but Zaar would not let me say this in the recipe. (Or maybe I don't know how to word it right.) Can easily be doubled or even tripled. Hope you enjoy!

Yield Makes 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 1/4 pounds medium parsnips, trimmed, peeled, cut into 3 x 1/2-inch sticks
1 1/2 pounds medium carrots, trimmed, peeled, cut into 3 x 1/2-inch sticks
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons white balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary
2 teaspoons coarse kosher salt
1 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Combine parsnips and carrots on large rimmed baking sheet. Add oil and remaining ingredients; toss to coat. Spread in even layer on baking sheet.

Let stand at room temperature 1 hour, then rewarm in 400°F oven 15 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right carrots: Look for medium-sized carrots that are smooth and free of blemishes. Avoid carrots that are too large, as they may be woody.
  • Peel and trim the carrots: Use a vegetable peeler to remove the skin from the carrots. Then, trim the ends off.
  • Cut the carrots into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly. If you are using baby carrots, you can leave them whole.
  • Toss the carrots with olive oil: This will help them to roast evenly and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
  • Season the carrots: Use a combination of salt, pepper, and garlic powder to season the carrots. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as cumin, coriander, or paprika.
  • Roast the carrots at a high temperature: This will help them to caramelize and develop a nice roasted flavor.
  • Stir the carrots occasionally: This will help them to cook evenly.
  • Roast the carrots until they are tender: The carrots are done roasting when they are tender when pierced with a fork.
  • Serve the carrots immediately: Roasted carrots are best served immediately. You can garnish them with fresh herbs, such as parsley or cilantro.
