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.

Awesome
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

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.Read more

Candied, not so much...
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

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.Read more

New Thanksgiving Favorite!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Loved this recipe! It was very easy to prepare and tasted great! A new family favorite! It wasn't too sweet and had just... the right amount of seasoning. We loved it and it was a lifesaver for an extra holiday sidedish! Thanks Tyler!Read more

Tasty but ...
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

This recipe is easy and delicious! Using just a few ingredients you can have a vegetable side dish. The thing I will change... next time is that I will lessen the oil and the butter since it came out oily enough to feel not healthy.Read more

Great!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Every recipe of Tyler's that I have made has turned out so great. I didn't have the cute carrots with the tops on so I just... cut regular old carrots up into chunks and proceeded as directed. They were so good even the kids were gobbling them up. I love Tyler!Read more
