OVEN-ROASTED CARROTS AND ONIONS



Oven-Roasted Carrots and Onions image

The dry heat of the oven caramelizes the natural sugars in vegetables, which brings about an amazing depth of flavor. Baby carrots vary in size depending on time of year and where they are grown, so check for doneness after 30 to 40 minutes.

SIMPLE ROASTED CARROTS & ONIONS

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.

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.

Time 40m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 large carrots
1/2 medium sweet onion (or more to taste)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Slice carrots lengthwise, then chop into approximately 2-3" sections. If your carrots are particularly large, you may need to quarter some, just be sure your pieces are uniform for cooking.
  • Slice onion into sections (however you want to. I usually chop as if making onion rings, then slice the circles in half, for long onion "strands").
  • Toss with olive oil, salt and pepper, then spread in a baking dish.
  • Cover with foil and bake at 400* until carrots are tender and onions are slightly browned. Noted cooking time is approximate, so keep an eye on these so your carrots don't become mushy!

Tips:

  • Choose the right carrots: Look for carrots that are firm, smooth, and have a deep orange color. Avoid carrots that are limp, bruised, or have cracks.
  • Use a variety of onions: You can use any type of onion for this recipe, but different onions will give you different flavors. For a sweeter flavor, use yellow or sweet onions. For a more pungent flavor, use red or white onions.
  • Roast the carrots and onions together: Roasting the carrots and onions together allows them to caramelize and develop a delicious flavor. You can also roast them separately, but they will not have the same flavor.
  • Add some herbs and spices: Herbs and spices can help to enhance the flavor of the carrots and onions. Some good options include thyme, rosemary, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  • Don't overcook the carrots: Carrots should be roasted until they are tender but still have a slight crunch. Overcooked carrots will be mushy and bland.

Conclusion:

Roasted carrots and onions are a simple but delicious side dish that can be served with a variety of meals. They are also a healthy and nutritious snack. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy side dish, give roasted carrots and onions a try. You won't be disappointed!
