ROSEMARY-ROASTED CARROTS



Rosemary-Roasted Carrots image

Simplistic and delicious! High heat roasting of the carrots intensifies the flavor and almost caramelizes them. This really is the best way to cook almost all root vegetables to get the full flavor of the vegetable! Preparation time includes peeling and cutting carrots. You can eliminate this if you use precut or washed baby carrots.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 lb carrot (any type)
1 head garlic
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
2 sprigs fresh rosemary or 1 tablespoon dried rosemary
sea salt
fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
  • If you are using whole carrots, peel and cut into 2" diagonal sections (I like to cut carrots on a diagonal just because they look more appealing).
  • Break garlic into individual cloves but leave the skins on.
  • Toss all ingredients in roasting pan that is just large enough to hold everything.
  • Roast for approx 20-30 minutes or until browned, stirring occasionally. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Carrots: Select fresh, firm carrots with smooth, unblemished skin. Baby carrots or medium-sized carrots work best for this recipe.
  • Trim and Clean the Carrots: Trim the ends of the carrots and scrub them thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris. If desired, peel the carrots before slicing.
  • Cut the Carrots Evenly: Cut the carrots into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking. You can cut them into rounds, slices, or matchsticks, depending on your preference.
  • Roast the Carrots Properly: Preheat the oven to the specified temperature and toss the carrots with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them evenly on a baking sheet and roast until tender and slightly caramelized.
  • Add Aromatics and Herbs: Enhance the flavor of the carrots by adding aromatic vegetables like onion, garlic, or shallots, and fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme. Roast them together with the carrots for added depth of flavor.
  • Use Fresh Orange Juice: Freshly squeezed orange juice provides the best flavor for this recipe. Avoid using store-bought orange juice, as it often contains additives and preservatives that can alter the taste.
  • Reduce the Sauce: If desired, reduce the orange juice and honey mixture in a saucepan until it thickens into a glaze. Drizzle this glaze over the roasted carrots for a glossy, flavorful finish.
  • Garnish Before Serving: Before serving, garnish the roasted carrots with fresh herbs like parsley, cilantro, or mint. This adds a pop of color and freshness to the dish.

Conclusion:

Roasted Orange Rosemary Carrots are a delectable side dish that combines the natural sweetness of carrots with the vibrant flavors of orange and rosemary. They are easy to make, healthy, and visually appealing, making them perfect for any occasion.
