GLAZED CARROTS AND BRUSSELS SPROUTS
I made this recipe for my mother's birthday over 20 years ago. Everyone loved the Brussels sprouts! Then I lost the recipe. Recently as I was going through my mother's recipe cards, I found the copy I made for her. I had forgotten what an attractive dish this is. It is as good as I remember and best of all, it still gets rave reviews!

I love serving brussels sprouts this way. The carrots and orange peel sweeten them up just right, while the hot pepper sauce adds a bit of zip.

ROASTED CARROTS AND PARSNIPS WITH CITRUS BUTTER

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.

Steps:
- Place water and carrots into a saucepan. Heat to boiling, cover pan, and simmer on medium for about 7-8 minutes, or until carrots are tender-crisp. Drain carrots and transfer to a nonstick skillet.
- Heat the butter on medium heat for one minute. Add the carrots and cook 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the thawed orange juice concentrate, salt and pepper. Cook 1 to 2 minutes or until tender. Toss with the chives. Serve.
Tips:
- Choose vibrant vegetables: Select firm, brightly-colored carrots and Brussels sprouts. Fresh vegetables will yield the best flavor and texture in your dish.
- Roast your vegetables: Roasting intensifies the natural sweetness of carrots and Brussels sprouts, resulting in a caramelized goodness. Keep an eye on them to ensure they don't burn.
- Use high-quality olive oil: Extra virgin olive oil adds a rich flavor to the dish. It also helps in roasting the vegetables evenly.
- Add a touch of acidity: A splash of citrus juice, such as orange or lemon, can balance the sweetness of the roasted vegetables. It also adds a refreshing zing to the dish.
- Season well: Salt and pepper are essential seasonings for roasted vegetables. You can also add herbs like thyme or rosemary for extra flavor.
- Garnish with fresh herbs: A sprinkling of chopped parsley, cilantro, or chives adds a pop of color and freshness to your dish.
