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, zested and halved
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

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 zest, brown sugar, cumin and cinnamon and continue to cook for 2 minutes or until syrupy.

Remove the carrots from the oven, drizzle the orange brown butter over the carrots and serve.

Yum Yum Yummy
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Made these for Christmas dinner and they were a huge hit. I wasn't sure because of the cumin (which I associate with chili)... but it was such a small amount and really gave the carrots just a hint of spice. The orange, brown sugar and butter just sealed the deal. My MIL made them again for New Years Day with a glazed ham and they were again just as delicious. I followed this recipe and not the shows. Great.Read more

Mindbendingly Awesome Carrots
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

How is it possible that a vegetable could be sooo good?! Okay, I like carrots, but the roasting & the drizzle sauce...so... delish! Big hit at Christmas dinner! No, this is not exactly like the show, but the way they explain here works nicely. Do roast them for a long time until they are really tender & use plenty of salt & pepper. Mine were lovely even before the sauce but the sauce made it really nice. A definite new go-to recipe for our family!Read more

Good results, but recipe and show are different
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I watched the show and read the recipe - WORLDS APART as far as cooking method. I used the recipe and the results were good,... so 5 stars for results, 1 star for recipe. Next time I'll try it the way the show shows it and see what happens.Read more

Recipe is sooooo off from the episode
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I just watched this segment, then found this recipe, and it's as if someone watched the show and then wrote the recipe down a... month later from memory. He roasts the carrots with the olive oil, salt, pepper and cumin for 15 - 20 minutes in an oven-safe pan. He puts the pan back on the stove and drops the butter right onto the carrots. THEN adds brown sugar once the butter has melted. Then adds cinnamon. Then zests the orange, then juices it. He also says if you are going to use normal carrots, cut them into discs and blanch them before roasting. Hope this helps!Read more
