Jamie Oliver Honey Roasted Carrots Food

AMAZING ROAST VEG

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 190°C/375°F/gas 5.
• Bring three pans of salted water to the boil. Peel the potatoes and carrots, and scrub the beets.
• Cut any large potatoes in half and leave any small ones whole. Place the potatoes in one of the pans and parboil for 5 to 10 minutes, or until half cooked. Drain the potatoes, then leave them to steam dry. Return the potatoes to the hot pan and shake it around to chuff up the edges.
• Repeat with the carrots and beets but do not shake them around after, leaving them to steam dry.
• Pick the rosemary leaves and scatter over the potatoes. Break up and scatter with half of the garlic cloves, unpeeled, a drizzle of olive oil, and a pinch of sea salt and black pepper, then place in a large roasting tray.
• Place the carrots and beets in the tray, keeping everything separate, then drizzle over a good lug of olive oil and season well with salt and pepper.
• Scatter over the remaining garlic cloves and roast all the veg in the hot oven for about 20 to 30 minutes, giving them a jiggle every so often, or until everything is crispy, golden and delicious - about 10 minutes before they're ready, drizzle the honey over the carrots and add a lug of balsamic to the beets, then return to the oven.

SWEET GLAZED CARROTS

Steps:

• Trim most of the leafy green stalks off the carrots, then peel them.
• Melt the butter and dripping or goose fat (if using) in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Crush the unpeeled garlic with the flat side of your knife, then add to the pan turning after 1 minute.
• Pick and sprinkle in the thyme sprigs, squeeze over the clementine juice, then add the honey or sugar and a splash of water.
• Add the carrots in a single layer, season with sea salt and black pepper, the jiggle the pan to coat the carrots. Cover, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, or until tender.
• Remove the lid, then cook for a further 5 minutes, or until the glaze has reduced, and the carrots are sticky and caramelised, turning often. Serve straightaway, or reheat when needed.

HONEY-ROASTED CARROTS

HONEY-ROAST CARROTS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C/gas 6. Boil carrots for 5 mins till almost cooked, drain and cool. Mix the rest of the ingredients in a small roasting tray, tip in carrots, season and roast for 20 mins until cooked, but still with a little bite.

JAMIE OLIVER'S ROAST POTATOES, PARSNIPS, AND CARROTS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°.
• Peel the vegetables and halve any larger ones lengthways. Break the garlic bulb into cloves, leaving them unpeeled, and bash them slightly with the palm of your hand. Pick the rosemary leaves from the woody stalks.
• Put the potatoes and carrots into a large pan - you may need to use two - of salted, boiling water on a high heat and bring back to the boil.
• Allow to boil for 5 minutes, then add the parsnips and cook for another 4 minutes.
• Drain in a colander and allow to steam dry. Take out the carrots and parsnips and put to one side.
• Fluff up the potatoes in the colander by shaking it around a little - it's important to 'chuff them up' like this if you want them to have all those lovely crispy bits when they're cooked.
• Add the olive oil, garlic, and rosemary leaves.
• Put the vegetables into the tray with a good pinch of salt and pepper and stir them around to coat them in the flavours.
• Spread them out evenly into one layer - this is important, as you want them to roast, not steam as they will if you have them all on top of each other
• Cook for approximately 40 minutes or until the vegetables become browned and crispy.
