Roasted carrots are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed year-round. They're easy to make and can be roasted with a variety of spices and herbs. This recipe uses a citrus vinaigrette to brighten up the roasted carrots and add a bit of tang. The vinaigrette is made with fresh orange and lemon juice, olive oil, honey, and Dijon mustard. It's a light and flavorful dressing that complements the sweet carrots perfectly.
This recipe also includes instructions for making roasted carrot fries and carrot chips. Carrot fries are a fun and healthy alternative to traditional potato fries. They're made by cutting carrots into thin strips and roasting them in the oven until they're crispy. Carrot chips are another healthy snack option. They're made by slicing carrots thinly and baking them in the oven until they're crispy. Both carrot fries and carrot chips can be seasoned with a variety of spices and herbs to taste.

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.
SLOW-ROASTED CARROTS WITH BROWN-BUTTER VINAIGRETTE
Elevating vegetables to star status is a better display of your culinary chops - and a more unconventional and surprising one - than showcasing a piece of meat. These are an adaptation of the "forgotten carrots" served by Neil Borthwick at Merchants Tavern in London; they actually do require a little bit of attention.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 325. Scrub the carrots, and peel them if you like (it really doesn't matter). Set a roasting pan over two burners on medium heat; put the olive oil in the pan. When the oil is hot, add the carrots and cook, turning as they brown, until lightly caramelized all over, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Add 3 tablespoons butter, spices, salt and pepper. Transfer the roasting pan to the oven, and cook, shaking the pan once or twice, until the carrots are crinkly on the outside and you can pierce them easily with the tip of a sharp knife, 45 to 60 minutes.
- Meanwhile, put 1 stick butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally until the butter foam subsides and the butter turns nut brown, about 5 minutes. Turn off the heat.
- Put brown butter, vinegar, Dijon, salt and pepper in a blender. Blend until a creamy emulsion forms, about 30 seconds; taste, and adjust the seasoning. Put the carrots on a platter, drizzle the vinaigrette over the top and garnish with the chervil or parsley, and serve.

Tips:
- Choose the right carrots: Look for carrots that are firm and have a deep orange color. Avoid carrots that are limp or have blemishes.
- Peel and cut the carrots evenly: This will help them roast evenly. If the carrots are different sizes, cut them into similar-sized pieces so that they cook at the same rate.
- Toss the carrots in olive oil and spices: This will help them caramelize and develop a delicious flavor. You can use any spices you like, but some good options include salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
- Roast the carrots at a high temperature: This will help them brown and caramelize. Aim for a temperature of 425 degrees Fahrenheit or higher.
- Stir the carrots halfway through roasting: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from burning.
- Make the citrus vinaigrette while the carrots are roasting: This will give the flavors time to meld. You can use any type of citrus you like, but some good options include oranges, lemons, and grapefruits.
- Drizzle the citrus vinaigrette over the roasted carrots: This will add a bright and flavorful touch. You can also sprinkle the carrots with fresh herbs, such as parsley or cilantro.
Conclusion:
Roasted carrots with citrus vinaigrette is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The carrots are tender and caramelized, and the citrus vinaigrette adds a bright and flavorful touch. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
