ORANGE-HONEY GLAZED CARROTS
Steps:
- Cut the carrots diagonally in 1-inch-thick slices. You should have about 5 cups of carrots. Place 1/2 cup water, the butter, honey, 2 teaspoons of salt, and the ginger in a large saute pan and bring to a boil. Add the carrots, cover the pan, and simmer over medium-low heat for 5 minutes. Remove the lid and continue to cook for about 20 minutes, or until all the water has evaporated. You may want to raise the heat for the last 5 minutes.
- Add the orange zest and orange juice to the pan, tossing with the carrots. Simmer uncovered for about 5 minutes, until the carrots are al dente (tender but still resistant when you bite) and the sauce glazes the carrots. Add the pepper and another teaspoon of salt, to taste.
ORANGE-ROASTED RAINBOW CARROTS
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450˚.
- Remove the tops and scrub the orange and rainbow carrots with a vegetable brush. Cut the carrots in long diagonal slices. (You want fairly uniform sticks, about 4 inches long by 1/2 inch wide.)
- Place the carrots on a sheet pan, drizzle with 3 tablespoons olive oil and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Toss well with your hands and spread out in one layer.
- Roast for 15 to 20 minutes, turning once, until the carrots are lightly browned and tender. Sprinkle with the orange zest, orange juice and fleur de sel and toss well. Serve hot or at room temperature.
ORANGE ROASTED BABY CARROTS
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.

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:
- Select small, tender baby carrots: Look for carrots that are about 2-3 inches long and have a smooth, unblemished surface.
- Prepare the carrots properly: Scrub the carrots well to remove any dirt or debris. Trim the ends and cut the carrots into 1-inch pieces if desired.
- Use a high-quality olive oil: Extra virgin olive oil is the best choice for roasting vegetables as it has a higher smoke point and a more flavorful taste.
- Season the carrots generously: Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and dried thyme to flavor the carrots. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little bit of heat.
- Roast the carrots at a high temperature: This will help to caramelize the carrots and give them a slightly crispy exterior.
- Toss the carrots with honey and orange juice: This will add a sweet and tangy flavor to the carrots.
- Roast the carrots for an additional 10 minutes: This will help to glaze the carrots and give them a beautiful golden brown color.
Conclusion:
Orange Roasted Baby Carrots with Honey is a simple and delicious side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The carrots are tender and flavorful, with a sweet and tangy glaze.
