Lemon, Parsley, and Parmesan plus Charred Carrots and Croutons image

Roasting the carrots until they're slightly charred really brings out the sweetness of the vegetable.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Salad Recipes

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 small loaf white Pullman bread, cut into 3/4-inch cubes (about 2 cups)
1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus shavings
1 pound carrots, peeled, halved lengthwise, and cut into 3-inch pieces
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
4 cups flat-leaf parsley leaves
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large bowl, toss bread cubes with 3 tablespoons oil and the Parmesan. In another large bowl, toss carrots with 2 tablespoons oil; season with salt and pepper.
  • Lay carrots and bread on a baking sheet in 1 layer, with carrots on 1 side and bread on the other, and bake for 25 minutes. Remove croutons when crisp and golden, about 25 minutes. Spread out carrots, and cook until caramelized and slightly charred, about 25 minutes more.
  • Assemble the salad: Toss parsley, carrots, lemon juice, and the remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Add croutons and Parmesan shavings, and season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose the right carrots: Look for carrots that are firm, smooth, and have a deep orange color.
  • Peel the carrots thinly: This will help the carrots cook evenly and absorb the flavors of the butter and herbs.
  • Slice the carrots evenly: This will help them cook evenly and look more appealing.
  • Use unsalted butter: This will allow you to control the amount of salt in the dish.
  • Add the herbs at the end of cooking: This will help preserve their flavor and aroma.
  • Serve immediately: Carrots are best served hot, so don't let them sit around for too long before eating.

Conclusion:

Carrots in lemon parsley butter are a simple but delicious side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of main courses. The carrots are tender and flavorful, and the lemon parsley butter adds a bright, citrusy flavor that really enhances the dish.
