Carrots - Southwestern Roasted Carrots

Vegetable dishes are generally filed according to the primary or main ingredient. This is not an exact science but in the case of some vegetable salads, we'll put a copy here if it has another main vegetable component other than basic salad ingredients. NOTE REGARDING PICKLES & FERMENTED: Pickled and fermented vegetables are filed here; pickled or fermented fruit, meat and seafood are filed in their respective categories. Additionally, all beans (including green and wax) are filed in the bean category.

Carrots - Southwestern Roasted Carrots

Post by Chowhound »

1 lb 8 oz heirloom or regular carrots, peeled and halved lengthwise
3 Tbsp + 1 Tbsp olive oil, divided
1⁄4 cup pine nut
2 cloves garlic, grated
3⁄4 tsp ground cumin
3⁄4 tsp ground coriander
1⁄8 tsp red pepper chili flakes
1 orange
4 scallions (just the white ends), thinly sliced

Preheat oven to 400°F. In a large mixing bowl, combine carrots, 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, pine nuts, garlic, cumin, coriander, and chili flakes. Transfer carrot mixture to a cookie sheet and spread out in a single layer. Roast until tender, about 25–30 minutes. Check them about 15 minutes in, and flip carrots so both sides get browned. While the carrots roast, use a paring knife to cut away the outside layer of the orange (peel and white pith.) Cut on both sides of each segment, freeing the segment from the membrane. Place the segments in a bowl, and squeeze the juice out of the orange membrane into the bowl. Stir in scallions and remaining 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil. To serve, arrange carrots on a platter and spoon the orange mixture over the top.
