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.
