Ingredients
- 1 bunch young carrots, with tops
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
- 1 orange, halved
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Cut off all but 1-inch of the carrot tops, leaving a little green. Put the carrots in a large shallow pan, add the oil, and season with salt and pepper. Turn to coat the carrots. Stick them in the oven and bake for 30 minutes, until the carrots are fork-tender.
In the meantime, melt the butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Swirl the pan around and cook until the butter begins to become brown and nutty. Squeeze in the juice from the orange halves, add the brown sugar and cumin, and continue to cook for 2 minutes or until syrupy.
Remove the carrots from the oven and arrange them on a platter. Drizzle the orange brown butter over the carrots and serve.

I found this recipe while looking for new side dishes for TDay, and I can only say, thank heaven I watched the video! Tyler uses 3 bunches of baby carrots, 1 1/2 T. butter and makes the sauce on top of the roasted carrots. I hate to think what you'd end up with if you followed the written recipe.

This recipe was the best if you follow the instructions on the video. I do believe however that the ingredients have been misprinted. The video Tyler has on-line tells you to use 1 1/2 tablespoons of butter, not 4. If you use 4 tablespoons it does make it way too oily. Hope this helps.

My hubby liked the flavor of the carrots; however, the texture of the sauce was off. I cooked it way more than 2 mins. but it never got syrupy or like a glaze, more like a liquidy spiced butter sauce, not what I was looking for. Also a warning--be careful when squeezing in the orange juice, as it really sizzled and spattered! Also, the carrots took longer than 30 mins. to roast. I added some raisins at the last minute which gave it an extra flavor hit.
