Oven Roasted or Grilled Carrots

Published:  04/13/2016

Roasting vegetables at high heat caramelizes them and creates a sweet nutty flavor to the food, and generally turns the food to a brown color (they turn 'caramel'). The food is effectively covered in a caramelized sauce or dressing.

2 pounds (about 11 large carrots), peeled, trimmed and cut into 1 1/2 inch pieces. If grilling cut in half lengthwise

3 Tbs extra virgin olive oil

3/4 tsp kosher salt

Optional, Fresh chopped dill or dried dill

Directions:

Heat oven to 425 degrees.

In a large bowl, mix the ingredients together and then pour carrots onto a large foil-lined baking sheet.  Place baking sheet in oven. Bake for 20 minutes or until tender to your liking.

To grill: 
Heat grill to low. Coat carrots with oil and season with salt. Grill carrots directly on grill or on a grill pan, covered, turning as needed to prevent burning, until nicely charred and fork tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
