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.

ROASTED CARROTS AND RED ONION WITH BALSAMIC VINEGAR



Roasted Carrots and Red Onion With Balsamic Vinegar image

I made this last year for the holidays, and it was terrific! I added the garlic (of course!) I use a combo of the butter and the olive oil, but Zaar would not let me say this in the recipe. (Or maybe I don't know how to word it right.) Can easily be doubled or even tripled. Hope you enjoy!

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.

Provided by chakrates

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right carrots. Look for carrots that are firm and smooth, with no blemishes or cracks. Avoid carrots that are too thick, as they may be woody.
  • Roast the carrots at a high temperature. This will help to caramelize the sugars in the carrots and create a delicious browned exterior.
  • Add some aromatics to the roasting pan. This will help to infuse the carrots with flavor. Some good options include garlic, shallots, thyme, or rosemary.
  • Don't overcrowd the roasting pan. If the carrots are too crowded, they will not roast evenly.
  • Roast the carrots until they are tender. You can check this by piercing them with a fork. The carrots should be easily pierced, but they should not be mushy.
  • Serve the carrots immediately. They are best enjoyed when they are hot and crispy.

Conclusion:

Roasted carrots and red onions with pecans, fennel, and mint is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be served with a variety of main courses. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you are looking for a healthy and flavorful side dish or a special occasion dish, this recipe is sure to please.
