SIMPLE ROASTED CARROTS & ONIONS



Simple Roasted Carrots & Onions image

Ridiculously easy -- and they don't last in my house; even the picky eater wolfs down the carrots! Based on a recipe from Nov. '06 Sunset.

Categories     Onions

Time 1h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 lbs carrots
3 red onions
1 tablespoon olive oil
salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425.
  • Peel carrots and onions. Cut onions in quarters, leaving root ends in tact, so that they hold the quarters together. Cut carrots into 2 - 3" pieces, and if the carrots are really fat, cut them lengthwise into halvves or quarters. (You can adjust the quanitities of everything -- it's just that the program here wants specifics.).
  • Put them onto a cookie sheet or jelly roll pan and drizzle with olive oil and salt and mix them with your hands so that they are lightly coated. The pan does really matter here -- if you use something with sides, they steam rather than roast.
  • Roast for 15 minutes, turn and roast for 15 - 30 minutes more. At this point, they should be cooked, but they can go longer if they're not done. they should be crisp/tender (if they go longer, they get soft, which I'm starting to like, too) and have browned spots on them.

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 pounds small carrots (about 2 bunches), peeled, cut into 3" pieces
2 large red onions, each cut through root end into 8 wedges
1 fennel bulb, cut into 1/2" wedges
4 Tbsp. olive oil, divided
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons raw sunflower seeds
1 teaspoon coriander seeds, coarsely chopped
1/2 teaspoon Aleppo pepper or a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon Hungarian hot paprika
2 tablespoons Sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons torn mint leaves

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Place carrots on a rimmed baking sheet and onions and fennel on another rimmed baking sheet. (Make sure to give them plenty of room, which is key to roasted veggies with nicely browned edges.) Drizzle vegetables with 2 Tbsp. oil, dividing evenly; season with salt and pepper. Roast, tossing occasionally, until golden brown and tender, 20-25 minutes for carrots and 35-45 minutes for onions and fennel. Let cool.
  • Meanwhile, cook sunflower seeds, coriander seeds, Aleppo pepper, paprika, and remaining 2 Tbsp. oil in a small skillet over medium heat, stirring often, until oil is gently bubbling around seeds and spices are fragrant (be careful not to burn), about 2 minutes. Let cool. Stir in vinegar and lemon juice; season vinaigrette with salt and pepper.
  • Combine roasted carrots, fennel, and onions onto the same baking sheet, drizzle vinaigrette over, and toss to coat well; transfer to a platter.
  • Just before serving, re-toss vegetables to pull up any dressing that may have settled at the bottom of the platter and scatter mint over top.
  • Do Ahead
  • Dish (without mint) can be made 3 hours ahead. Store tightly wrapped at room temperature.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh, organic lemons. If using store-bought lemons, be sure to wash them thoroughly before using.
  • To achieve perfectly caramelized vegetables, use a heavy-bottomed pan and cook the vegetables over medium-low heat. This will allow them to brown slowly and evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you add too many vegetables at once, they will steam instead of roast.
  • Season the vegetables generously with salt and pepper. This will help to enhance their natural flavors.
  • Add a splash of white wine or vegetable broth to the pan for extra flavor. This will help to deglaze the pan and create a delicious sauce.
  • Serve the roasted vegetables immediately. They are best enjoyed hot and crisp.

Conclusion:

Lemon roasted onions and carrots are a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of main courses. They are easy to make and require only a few simple ingredients. Plus, they are a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables. So next time you're looking for a tasty and nutritious side dish, give lemon roasted onions and carrots a try.
