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.

The cumin just killed it for me
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

The carrots themselves were very good but once I poured the sauce over them it just killed them. I am not by any means ruling... out cook error. I plan tol try these again with a little more brown sugar and no cumin.Read more

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
