ZESTY CARROTS



Zesty Carrots image

This is an easy-to-make family favorite and has always been served as a side dish at our Thanksgiving dinners. Don't let the horseradish scare you. It merely adds a tangy flavor. You can use pre-made bread crumbs to make it even easier. Light mayo works fine and so does cooking spray on the casserole dish in place of butter.

Provided by Jeff Cummings

Categories     Side Dish     Casseroles

Time 35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 carrots, julienned
1 teaspoon butter
2 tablespoons grated onion
½ cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons creamy-style horseradish sauce
¼ teaspoon pepper
½ cup bread crumbs
½ teaspoon paprika

Steps:

  • Place the carrots in a saucepan with about 1 inch of water in the bottom. Bring to a boil, and cook for about 5 minutes. Drain, and set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Butter a 1 1/2 quart casserole dish. Place the carrots in the dish. In a medium bowl, stir together the onion, mayonnaise, horseradish, pepper, paprika and bread crumbs. Spread evenly over the carrots.
  • Bake uncovered for 15 minutes, or until the top is nicely browned.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh horseradish root. If you can't find it fresh, you can use prepared horseradish, but the flavor will be less intense.
  • Use a food processor or grater to finely shred the carrots. This will help them absorb the dressing more evenly.
  • If you don't have white wine vinegar, you can use apple cider vinegar or rice vinegar instead.
  • To make a vegan version of this recipe, use agave nectar or maple syrup instead of honey.
  • Serve the carrots immediately or chill them for later. They will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Zesty horseradish carrots are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish. They are perfect for potlucks, picnics, and barbecues. The horseradish gives the carrots a nice kick, while the honey and vinegar balance out the flavors. These carrots are also a good source of vitamins and minerals, making them a healthy addition to any meal.
