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.

2 pounds carrots, peeled quartered or cut into sixths lengthwise depending on the size, then into 2-inch lengths

Salt
freshly ground pepper
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, chopped

3 tablespoons finely chopped flat-leaf parsley

A Karen Martini recipe from her cookbook "cooking at home'. She suggests that 1 bunch carrots can be substituted by 1 turnip and 2 parsnips, peeled and cut into quarters. A nice vege side for any roast. You could use larger carrots and cut them into halves or quarters instead of baby carrots if wished....though the baby carrots give a lovely presentation

Provided by Jubes

Categories     Vegetable

Time 50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

600 g baby carrots, scrubbed and trimmed (2 bunches Dutch or baby carrots)
4 teaspoons olive oil
4 sprigs thyme, large sprigs, leaves only
3 tablespoons honey (12 teaspoons)
60 g unsalted butter

Steps:

  • .Preheat oven to 190°C.
  • Place the carrost in a baking dish. Add the olive oil and toss to coat.

  • Remove the carrots from the oven, Add the honey and the butter. Toss the carrots to coat.
  • Return carrots to the oven and bake a further 3 - 5 minutes, or until the carrots are cooked.

Tips:

  • Choose the right carrots: Look for carrots that are fresh, firm, and have a deep orange color. Avoid carrots that are limp or have blemishes.
  • Cut the carrots evenly: This will help them cook evenly. If the carrots are different sizes, cut them into similar-sized pieces.
  • Coat the carrots in oil and spices: This will help them caramelize and develop a delicious flavor.
  • Roast the carrots at a high temperature: This will help them get crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
  • Stir the carrots occasionally: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from burning.
  • Roast the carrots until they are tender-crisp: You can check this by piercing them with a fork. If the fork goes through easily, the carrots are done.
