OVEN-ROASTED CARROTS AND ONIONS
The dry heat of the oven caramelizes the natural sugars in vegetables, which brings about an amazing depth of flavor. Baby carrots vary in size depending on time of year and where they are grown, so check for doneness after 30 to 40 minutes.

- Grease the bottom and sides of a covered casserole dish with 1 tablespoon of butter and set aside.
- Melt the other tablespoon of butter in a skillet and slowly cook the onions, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and tender.
- Preheat oven to 180C/350°F.
- While the onions cook, peel and THINLY slice the carrots and put them into the buttered casserole dish. The slices should be about the thickness of a nickel (or a pound coin in the UK). If they are too thick, they will take longer than noted to cook.
- When the onions are cooked, add them to the carrots and mix them around a bit.
- In a small bowl, combine the orange juice, honey, paprika, garlic powder, dill, cayenne (if using), melted butter, salt and pepper.
- Pour this mixture over the carrots, cover and bake for one hour. Remove from oven and test to see that carrots are firm but tender. If need be, return to oven and cook an additional 5-15 minutes.
- Enjoy now because I can almost guarantee that you won't have any leftovers!
CUMIN ROASTED CARROTS
Steps:
- Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F, or a grill to high (if you are outside, prepare a campfire). Cut any large carrots in half lengthwise and crosswise.
- Drizzle a large sheet of foil with some oil. Arrange the carrots in a flat, single layer over half the sheet of foil. Drizzle the carrots with more oil and sprinkle with the garlic, cumin and salt and pepper. Top the carrots with the butter and drizzle with the honey. Fold the foil in half over the carrots and fold the edges to seal and form a pouch. To avoid crowding the carrots, make two pouches if necessary.
- Cook the pouch in the oven or on a grill or campfire for 15 minutes. To serve, cut open the pouch tableside and finish with a sprinkle of parsley.

Steps:
- Prepare pot roast

ROASTED, CARAMELIZED CARROTS WITH GARLIC
Oven roasted until the carrots are caramelized, it's so good and so super easy. Add the flavor of garlic and fresh parsley and send it over the top! This is a great side dish for any entree, and good enough to serve royalty! *Please do not use the little carrots marketed as "Baby carrots". Those are cut out pieces from deformed whole carrots and preserved in a chlorine bath since the pieces no longer have a skin to preserve them. I don't suggest cooking with pool water, either!

Tips:
- Choose the right carrots: Select medium-sized carrots with smooth skin and no blemishes. If possible, opt for organic carrots for better flavor and texture.
- Roast the carrots at high heat: Roasting the carrots at a high temperature (425°F) caramelizes the natural sugars and enhances their flavor. Make sure to toss the carrots in oil and spices before roasting to prevent them from drying out.
- Use a variety of spices: Don't limit yourself to just salt and pepper. Experiment with different spices like cumin, coriander, smoked paprika, or chili powder to add depth and complexity to the roasted carrots.
- Caramelize the onions slowly: Patience is key when caramelizing onions. Cook them over low heat for at least 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they turn a deep golden brown. This process brings out their natural sweetness and adds a rich flavor to the dish.
- Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs like thyme, rosemary, or parsley add a pop of color and a burst of flavor to the roasted carrots and caramelized onions. Sprinkle them on top of the veggies before serving.
Conclusion:
Baked carrots with caramelized onions is a simple yet flavorful side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of roasted carrots and caramelized onions creates a sweet, savory, and slightly crunchy dish that is sure to please everyone at the table. With its vibrant colors and delicious taste, this dish is a great way to add some variety to your meals. Whether you're serving it as a side dish for a weeknight dinner or as part of a special holiday meal, baked carrots with caramelized onions is sure to be a hit.
