Categories     Bon Appétit     Dinner     Chicken     Roast     Carrot     Ginger     Shallot     Lime Juice     Honey

Yield 4-6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (3 1/2-4-lb.) chicken
Kosher salt
1 head of garlic, halved crosswise, plus 4 cloves, thinly sliced
1 1/2 lb. carrots, scrubbed, cut in half
8 small shallots, peeled
1 (2") piece ginger, unpeeled, thinly sliced
2 Tbsp. unsalted butter
1 Tbsp. honey
2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
1 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 cup fresh lime juice

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 250°F. Season chicken generously with salt inside and out. Place head of garlic inside cavity; tie legs together if desired. Let sit at least 5 minutes or chill, uncovered, up to 2 days.
  • Combine carrots, shallots, ginger, butter, and honey in a large Dutch oven or other heavy pot; season lightly with salt. Place chicken on top, nestling into vegetables so lid will sit tight. Cover; bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of breast registers 155°F, about 2 hours. Uncover and let rest 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cook oil and sliced garlic in a small saucepan over medium until garlic is lightly browned, 6-8 minutes. Add red pepper flakes and let cool. Stir in lime juice; season dressing with salt.
  • Increase oven temperature to 450°F. Place chicken on a rimmed baking sheet and roast until skin is browned and crisp, 10-14 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, place pot over medium-high heat; bring juices to a simmer. Cook, reducing heat as needed, until vegetables are glazed, 10-12 minutes. Keep warm over low heat until chicken is done.
  • Serve chicken on top of vegetables with dressing drizzled over.

Provided by Amanda Hesser

Categories     side dish

Time 2h20m

Yield 6 - 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound small green seedless grapes, washed and plucked (3 cups)
Vegetable spray
2 pounds baby carrots
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon chopped sage
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon peel
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 250 degrees. Put grapes in a bowl and spray lightly with vegetable oil. Toss to coat. Turn grapes into a 12-inch non-stick ovenproof skillet. Dry in oven, tossing grapes every 20 minutes or so, until skin shrivels and grapes are tawny and lightly caramelized, 2 to 2 1/2 hours. Remove from oven and set aside. (Grapes can be made a day ahead and refrigerated.)
  • Place carrots on paper towel-lined pan to dry. Increase oven temperature to 500 degrees. Place broiler pan or heavy roasting pan in oven. In small saucepan over low heat, melt butter and cook until golden brown. Add sage leaves, maple syrup and dried grapes. Swirl to combine and turn off heat, but leave on burner to keep warm.
  • Place carrots, olive oil and salt in a bowl and toss, rubbing oil and salt into carrots. Turn carrots onto hot pan in oven in a single layer. Roast, shaking pan occasionally, until carrots have begun to color and are almost tender, about 10 minutes.
  • Pour grape mixture over carrots and toss with heat-proof spatula to coat. Roast until glaze begins to set and carrots are tender and spotty-brown, about 5 minutes more. Remove carrots from oven and sprinkle with lemon peel and pepper. Transfer to warm bowl and serve immediately.

HONEY-BALSAMIC GLAZED ROASTED BEETS & CARROTS image

Categories     Side     Roast

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 large beets, tops trimmed
4 large carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
Olive or canola oil
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup

Steps:

  • Wrap the beets in foil and roast them in the oven at 350°F for 1 1/2 hours. Set them aside until cool enough to handle. Meanwhile, peel and chop the carrots and toss with a drizzle of oil in a 15x10-inch baking pan. Roast for about 30 minutes, turning once or twice, until soft and carrots start to turn golden. Combine the balsamic vinegar and honey in a large skillet, add the carrots to the skillet along with any oil that has accumulated in the bottom of the pan. When the beets are cool enough to handle, peel them with your fingers. Slice beets into wedges and place in skillet with carrots. Heat vegetables over medium-high heat and cook until the glaze bubbles and thickens, coating the carrots and beets with a sticky glaze. Serve immediately, or cool and serve over a salad.

SUGAR-GLAZED ROASTED CARROTS



Sugar-Glazed Roasted Carrots image

This is from Cook's Country, America's Test Kitchen, Feb/March 2006. Don't use baby carrots in this. They won't roast properly. I liked decreasing the sugar about one-third.

Provided by Debbie R.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 28m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1/2 lbs medium carrots, peeled and cut into 2 x 1/2-inch pieces
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

  • Put oven rack in the middle position. Preheat to 475 degrees. Heat rimmed baking sheet for 10 minutes.
  • Toss carrots, melted butter, sugar, salt and pepper until thoroughly combined. Remove pan from oven. Please carrots in single layer on it. Roast until they're beginning to brown, about 15 minutes.
  • Remove pan from oven, toss carrots to redistribute and keep roasting until tender and deep amber in color, with some very darkened spots (but not all over)--about 3 minutes.

Tips:

  • Select the right carrots: Choose medium-sized carrots that are firm and smooth, avoiding any with blemishes or bruises.
  • Peel the carrots thinly: Use a vegetable peeler to remove the outer layer of the carrots, taking care not to remove too much of the flesh.
  • Cut the carrots evenly: Cut the carrots into uniform pieces, either into rounds or lengthwise, to ensure even cooking.
  • Toss the carrots in oil and seasonings: Before roasting, toss the carrots in olive oil, salt, pepper, and any additional herbs or spices you desire. This will help them caramelize and develop flavor.
  • Roast at high temperature: Roast the carrots at a high temperature, around 425°F (220°C), to achieve a tender-crisp texture and golden brown color.
  • Stir occasionally: Stir the carrots during roasting to ensure even cooking and prevent burning.
  • Make the glaze: While the carrots are roasting, prepare the glaze by combining honey, butter, orange juice, and spices in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer and cook until thickened.
  • Glaze the carrots: Once the carrots are tender, remove them from the oven and immediately brush them with the prepared glaze. This will add a glossy sheen and extra flavor.

Conclusion:

Roasted glazed carrots are a versatile and delicious side dish that can elevate any meal. With their naturally sweet flavor and vibrant color, they are a crowd-pleaser that is both healthy and visually appealing. Whether you prefer them as a simple side or as a component in a more elaborate dish, these carrots are sure to impress.
