Charred Carrots with Honey Brie Sauce
Description
This recipe cooks medium carrots cut into sticks by charring them in peanut oil over medium-high heat until evenly blistered and softened. The hot carrots immediately mix with crumbled Brie cheese, honey, lemon juice, and optional crushed red pepper flakes, allowing the cheese to melt slightly into a smooth, sweet-tart sauce coating the carrots.
The flavor combines the natural carrot sweetness intensified by charring with creamy, rich Brie and honey’s floral sweetness, balanced by bright lemon and a touch of heat when using red pepper flakes. Sprinkling flaky sea salt enhances the layers of flavor while chopped parsley adds a fresh note.
This side works well with roasted or grilled meats and can be a warm vegetable offering with some indulgent texture from the melted Brie. Serving soon after preparation preserves the contrast of textures.
Ingredients
- 4 carrot cut into 4-by-½-inch sticks, medium
- 2-3 tablespoons peanut oil , enough to coat the bottom of your pan
- 4 ounces Brie cheese roughly chopped or crumbled, double or triple churned
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional, crushed
- parsley , minced for garnish, optional
- sea salt to taste, Maldon
Instructions
- Heat the peanut oil over medium-high heat in a large cast iron skillet. Carefully add the carrots using tongs. Allow to cook until nicely charred and blistered. Repeat the process on all sides, approximately 15 minutes. Transfer cooked carrots to a large mixing bowl.
- Immediately, while carrots are still piping hot, toss with the brie, honey, lemon, and red pepper flakes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the carrots to a platter, leaving any liquid behind. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
