I would like to serve carrots as a side dish on Christmas but a lot of the recipes don't seem special enough - anyone have a trusted recipe to share? |
Pretty tri-color carrots, peeled and cut into long strips - I like them thin like cross sections, maybe 3-4 per carrot.
Toss with olive oil, salt, pepper, a bit of honey and or balsamic vinegar, and lots of lemon juice. Throw in some thinly sliced lemon circles and toss this with the marinade as well. When done, sprinkle parsley on it. |
What is the cooking method? This sounds lovely and parsley and lemon slices is the kind of thing I was looking for! |
I just roast on about 400 and start checking at 25 minutes, tossing each time. Sacrifice a carrot or two for tasting to see when you want to pull the plug. |
I put them rhink sliced in electric skillet on low bubbles. A bit of chicken broth, ginger, 2 to 4 spoons tomato (sauce, padte, diced, whatever), until tender, finish with fresh parsley or serve plain. A family favorite despite its simplicity. |
^thin sliced |
I like the PP's idea. There is also a honey-glazed carrot recipe that's great. Kind of like this, except with thyme instead of parsley:

Carrots roasted in coconut oil. Search New York Times for the recipe. |
glazed carrots the French way - par boiled, then tossed around inside the pan with butter and brown sugar. |
Lol at posting the same recipe as pp. Clearly it's a good one! |
