Orange Roasted Baby Carrots With Honey Recipes

ORANGE-ROASTED RAINBOW CARROTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450˚.
• Remove the tops and scrub the orange and rainbow carrots with a vegetable brush. Cut the carrots in long diagonal slices. (You want fairly uniform sticks, about 4 inches long by 1/2 inch wide.)
• Place the carrots on a sheet pan, drizzle with 3 tablespoons olive oil and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Toss well with your hands and spread out in one layer.
• Roast for 15 to 20 minutes, turning once, until the carrots are lightly browned and tender. Sprinkle with the orange zest, orange juice and fleur de sel and toss well. Serve hot or at room temperature.

ORANGE-HONEY GLAZED CARROTS

Steps:

• Cut the carrots diagonally in 1-inch-thick slices. You should have about 5 cups of carrots. Place 1/2 cup water, the butter, honey, 2 teaspoons of salt, and the ginger in a large saute pan and bring to a boil. Add the carrots, cover the pan, and simmer over medium-low heat for 5 minutes. Remove the lid and continue to cook for about 20 minutes, or until all the water has evaporated. You may want to raise the heat for the last 5 minutes.
• Add the orange zest and orange juice to the pan, tossing with the carrots. Simmer uncovered for about 5 minutes, until the carrots are al dente (tender but still resistant when you bite) and the sauce glazes the carrots. Add the pepper and another teaspoon of salt, to taste.
