12 carrots
3 tablespoons good olive oil
1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons minced fresh dill or parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • If the carrots are thick, cut them in half lengthwise; if not, leave whole. Slice the carrots diagonally in 1 1/2-inch-thick slices.

  • Toss the carrots with minced dill or parsley, season to taste, and serve.

1 pound carrots, peeled, halved, and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon capers, rinsed
8 ounces haricots verts, trimmed and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces

Season with salt and pepper.

ROASTED CARROTS



Roasted Carrots image

This dish is inspired by a roasted carrot antipasto I recently sampled at Oliveto Cafe in Oakland, Calif. The roasted carrots were tossed with lots of parsley and thyme, and I loved the way those bitter herbs offset the sweetness of the carrots.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     easy, side dish

Time 1h

Yield Serves six

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 pounds carrots, peeled quartered or cut into sixths lengthwise depending on the size, then into 2-inch lengths
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Salt
freshly ground pepper
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, chopped
1/2 teaspoon oregano
3 tablespoons finely chopped flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Oil a sheet pan or a baking dish large enough to fit all of the carrots in a single layer. Place the carrots in a large bowl, and toss with the olive oil, salt, pepper, thyme and oregano.
  • Spread in an even layer in the prepared pan or baking dish. Cover with foil, and place in the oven for 30 minutes. Uncover, and if the carrots are not yet tender, turn the heat down to 375 degrees and return to the oven for 10 to 15 more minutes until tender. Add the parsley, stir gently, and taste and adjust salt and pepper. Serve hot, warm or at room temperature.

Nutrition Facts : Calories 158 calories, Carbohydrate 22 grams, Fat 7 grams, Fiber 3 grams, Protein 0 grams, Sugar 18 grams

Tips:

  • Preparing the Carrots: For perfectly roasted carrots, choose carrots that are similar in size to ensure even cooking. Peel and cut the carrots into uniform pieces, about 2-3 inches in length. This will help them cook evenly and maintain their shape.
  • Seasoning the Carrots: To enhance the flavor of the carrots, season them generously with a combination of olive oil, salt, and pepper. You can also add a sprinkle of dried herbs like thyme or rosemary for an aromatic touch.
  • Roasting the Carrots: Preheat the oven to the desired temperature before placing the carrots. Roast them in a single layer on a baking sheet to allow for proper air circulation and even browning. Keep an eye on the carrots during roasting to prevent them from overcooking.
  • Making the Vinaigrette: A flavorful vinaigrette is essential for a classic Nicoise salad. Combine Dijon mustard, red wine vinegar, olive oil, and minced shallots in a bowl. Whisk until well blended and season to taste. The vinaigrette should be tangy, slightly sweet, and well-balanced.
  • Assembling the Salad: Arrange the roasted carrots, hard-boiled eggs, green beans, tomatoes, potatoes, and olives on a serving platter or individual plates. Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad and garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or chives for a pop of color and flavor.

Conclusion:

Roasted Carrot Nicoise is a vibrant and delicious salad that combines the sweetness of roasted carrots with the tangy flavors of a classic Nicoise dressing. The combination of textures and flavors makes this salad a perfect side dish or light lunch option. With careful attention to roasting the carrots and preparing the vinaigrette, you can create a flavorful and visually appealing dish that will impress your friends and family. Enjoy this delightful salad as part of a balanced and healthy meal.
