Yield Serves 6-8

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 teaspoon grated orange zest, plus 1 1/2 teaspoons orange juice
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 pound carrots, peeled
1 pound parsnips, peeled
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

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



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.

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 pounds carrots, preferably small young ones, peeled and split crosswise
Kosher salt
2 garlic cloves, chopped
2 scallions, thinly sliced, white and green parts separated
¼ cup mirin (Japanese rice wine)

Cook until thickened and reduced by half, 1 to 2 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-low, and add the miso, whisking until smooth. Add the butter, a few pieces at a time, whisking to incorporate into a thick sauce, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the vinegar.
  • Return the carrots to the skillet and toss to coat with the glaze. Taste and adjust seasoning. Sprinkle with remaining scallion greens and serve.

Categories     Side     Roast     Carrot

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

2C diagonally cut carrots
1T butter, melted
1t olive oil
1/4t salt and pepper (each)
Cooking spray

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425*. Combine first 5 ingredients on a baking sheet coated with spray. Bake at 425* for 15 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right carrots: Look for fresh, firm carrots with smooth skin and no blemishes. Avoid carrots that are limp or have cracks or bruises.
  • Roast the carrots at a high temperature: This will help to caramelize the carrots and give them a slightly crispy exterior.
  • Use a variety of spices and herbs: This will add flavor and complexity to the roasted carrots. Some good options include garlic, thyme, rosemary, and cumin.
  • Don't overcrowd the roasting pan: This will prevent the carrots from roasting evenly.
  • Roast the carrots until they are tender-crisp: You don't want to overcook the carrots, or they will become mushy.
  • Serve the roasted carrots immediately: They are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven.
