Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 lbs. carrots (peeled)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons brown sugar
½ cup orange juice
¼ teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with foil and spray with cooking spray.
  • If the carrots are thick, cut them in half lengthwise; if not, leave whole. Slice the carrots diagonally in 2-inch-thick slices.
  • Spread carrots in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat.
  • Roast in the oven for 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, whisk together brown sugar, orange juice, and salt in a small bowl until completely combined.
  • After 15 minutes, remove carrots from the oven. Brush (or drizzle) brown sugar mixture over the carrots; stir to coat, and return to the oven for an additional 10-15 minutes (or until browned and tender). You will not need all of the glaze (probably only 1-2 tablespoons will actually be used), so set aside the extra and drizzle a little bit more over the roasted carrots just before serving.
  • Season with additional salt, to taste.

SLOW-ROASTED CARROTS WITH BROWN-BUTTER VINAIGRETTE



Slow-Roasted Carrots With Brown-Butter Vinaigrette image

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.

Categories     weekday, side dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pounds large carrots
3 tablespoons olive oil
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter,plus 3 extra tablespoons for roastingthe carrots
2 cardamom pods
2 star anise
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons sherry vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons chervil leaves orchopped fresh parsley

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.
