This is an easy and delicious way to cook carrots. Try to choose a bag that is fairly dry (not been sprayed over and over by the grocery store mister) so that they will caramalize better.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 25m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (1 lb) bag baby carrots
1 tablespoon oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon orange marmalade
1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1 tablespoon water

Steps:

  • Pre-heat the oven to 475 degrees.
  • Spray a cookie sheet with cooking spray.
  • Toss the carrots, oil and salt together, put them on the cookie sheet in a single layer, and place in the oven.
  • Meanwhile, in a small pan, heat the marmalade, ginger and water.
  • After 12 minutes, shake the cookie sheet and drizzle the marmalade mixture over the carrots.
  • Continue roasting for another 8 minutes or until desired degree of doneness is reached.

Tips:

  • Choose the right carrots: Baby carrots are the best choice for this recipe, as they are tender and cook evenly. If you are using larger carrots, cut them into 2-inch pieces.
  • Roast the carrots at a high temperature: This will help to caramelize the carrots and give them a slightly crunchy exterior.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: Extra virgin olive oil is the best choice, as it has a fruity flavor that will complement the carrots.
  • Season the carrots well: Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all essential seasonings for roasted carrots. You can also add other spices, such as cumin, coriander, or paprika, to taste.
  • Roast the carrots until they are tender: The carrots should be tender but still have a slight bite to them. This will take about 20-25 minutes.
  • Serve the carrots immediately: Roasted carrots are best served hot, so make sure to serve them as soon as they are done cooking.

Conclusion:

Orange roasted baby carrots are a delicious and easy side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. The carrots are roasted in a sweet and tangy orange glaze, which gives them a beautiful caramelized exterior. The carrots are also tender and flavorful, and they are a great source of vitamins and minerals. If you are looking for a healthy and delicious side dish, orange roasted baby carrots are a great option.
