This is a very simple and elegant vegetable side dish. Love it! It’s all about the spice rack for baking and serving. Both of these points are very important.
Ingredients:
1 kg mixed carrots (you can substitute a regular orange)
2-3 tbsp olive oil,
0,5-1 tsp sea salt (or to taste),
1 tsp ground dried garlic (or to taste),
1 tsp ground dried ginger (optional)
A couple of pinches of freshly ground pepper (or to taste),
2 branches of rosemary
1 branch of thyme,
1 tbsp lemon juice.
Ingredients for the feed are specified in paragraph 4 below.
If some of the ingredients you have available – it does not matter, main thing is to have oil and salt. But you understand that the taste will be completely different, so whenever possible, use all these spices.
How to do:
1. Carrots wash, peel (optional) and a little dry. Leave a tail or not is a matter of taste, but this side dish looks prettier. If the carrots are very large, cut it into pieces of approximately equal size. But not melchite, this is important.
2. Mix all spices and herbs, sprinkle over the carrots, top, pour olive oil and mix well.
Place carrots on a baking tray with baking paper, 1 layer, preferably on the distance between the slices, and bake for 30-40 minutes at 180C until brown, stirring occasionally so that the pieces brown on all sides. Cooking time depends on oven and size of carrots.
3. Once the carrot is ready, remove the branches of thyme and rosemary. Try it, add spices if necessary.
4. Flow 1.
Carrots sprinkled with lemon juice, sprinkle with chopped parsley or cilantro (2-3 tsp finely chopped leaves) and serve. For even more interesting flavor combinations, I recommend to garnish tahini sauce for this recipe.
Flow 2.
Carrots sprinkled with lemon juice, curd randomly on top spread goat cheese or feta (50 g), and conclude with a handful of chopped nuts (for my taste here, more suited to the pecan, walnut or almond petals). Nuts should be roasted.
Don’t even know which version tastes better, both is perfect!
PS As experience has shown, yellow carrots – the sweet, orange and purple – slightly less interesting to taste, white – virtually no. This is raw. In the prepared – all about the same;)
