Roasted Carrot Sauce Food

CUMIN ROASTED CARROTS

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F, or a grill to high (if you are outside, prepare a campfire). Cut any large carrots in half lengthwise and crosswise.
• Drizzle a large sheet of foil with some oil. Arrange the carrots in a flat, single layer over half the sheet of foil. Drizzle the carrots with more oil and sprinkle with the garlic, cumin and salt and pepper. Top the carrots with the butter and drizzle with the honey. Fold the foil in half over the carrots and fold the edges to seal and form a pouch. To avoid crowding the carrots, make two pouches if necessary.
• Cook the pouch in the oven or on a grill or campfire for 15 minutes. To serve, cut open the pouch tableside and finish with a sprinkle of parsley.

ROASTED CARROT SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Combine the carrots, onion, olive oil and garlic in a small bowl, coating the carrots and onions with the olive oil. Spread mixture in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake until vegetables are tender and have achieved light color, about 45 minutes. Occasionally stir vegetables. Puree the roasted vegetables, lemon juice, and sea salt with enough stock to form a sauce.
• Variation:
• Use half parsnips and half carrots in the recipe. Follow same cooking instructions.

ROASTED CARROTS, SPANISH SPICES, YOGURT SAUCE, HARISSA

Steps:

• Whisk together the yogurt, mint and lemon zest in a bowl and swirl in the harissa. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and set aside to let the flavors meld while you prepare the carrots.
• Bring a pot of well-salted water to a boil. Set up a bowl of well-salted ice water. Blanch the carrots in the boiling water until slightly al dente (they should still have crunch). Immediately plunge the carrots into the ice water and leave them to cool for 2 minutes. Drain well. Rub the skins off the carrots with a clean kitchen towel.
• Heat a few tablespoons of oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium heat until the oil shimmers. Add the carrots, paprika, cumin, mustard and fennel and cook until the carrots are charred. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer the carrots to a serving dish and top with dollops of the yogurt sauce. Garnish with mint leaves and pomegranate seeds. Serve with pomegranate dressing.
• Whisk together the pomegranate molasses, mustard, vinegar, canola and some salt and pepper until smooth.

ROASTED CARROTS

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. (The carrots will shrink while cooking so make the slices big.) Toss them in a bowl with the olive oil, salt, and pepper. Transfer to a sheet pan in 1 layer and roast in the oven for 20 minutes, until browned and tender.
• Toss the carrots with minced dill or parsley, season to taste, and serve.

GARLIC ROASTED CARROTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Slice carrots on the diagonal into 1/4-inch slices and place into a bowl. Drizzle with butter and stir in fresh garlic, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread onto the baking sheet in an even layer.
• Roast in the preheated oven until carrots are lightly caramelized and soft, 20 to 22 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley.

HONEY ROASTED CARROTS

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place the whole carrots into a baking dish, and drizzle with olive oil. Mix until the carrots are completely covered with olive oil. Pour on the honey, then season to taste with salt and pepper; mix until evenly coated.
• Bake in the preheated oven until just tender, or cooked to your desired degree of doneness, 40 minutes to 1 hour.
