GREAT ROASTED CARROTS



Great Roasted Carrots image

Recipe video above. In my opinion, there is only one way to roast carrots - on a high temperature so they brown beautifully in the same time it cooks for the inside to become sweet and tender. Cooked this way, you need nothing more than salt and pepper, though a hit of garlic never hurts!Extra flavouring options - see Note 3.

Tips

  • For the best flavor, use fresh ginger. Peel it before slicing or grating.
  • If you don't have fresh ginger, you can use ground ginger. However, fresh ginger will give you a more intense flavor.
  • Carrots are a great source of beta-carotene, which is converted to vitamin A in the body. Vitamin A is important for good vision, skin, and immune function.
  • Parsley is a good source of antioxidants, which can help protect your cells from damage.
  • Lemon juice adds a bright, citrusy flavor to the carrots. It also helps to keep the carrots from browning.
  • Honey adds a touch of sweetness to the carrots. You can adjust the amount of honey you use to suit your taste.
  • To save time, you can use a food processor to shred the carrots.
  • If you want to make the carrots ahead of time, you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
