Roasted Carrots with Orange Brown Butter and Sage
Description
In this recipe, carrots of uniform size are peeled and trimmed, leaving a bit of green top for presentation. They are coated well with olive oil, salted, and roasted at 350°F until fork-tender. Meanwhile, butter is melted in a skillet and cooked over medium-low heat until it browns, developing a nutty aroma and deep flavor. Fresh orange juice is squeezed into the brown butter, along with brown sugar and sage leaves, and cooked further until the mixture becomes syrupy.
The roasted carrots are arranged on a serving platter and generously drizzled with the orange-brown butter sauce infused with sage. The sauce adds richness, sweetness, and herbal brightness that complement the natural sweetness and earthiness of the carrots. This dish works well as a vegetable side for a variety of main courses.
Ingredients
- 1 carrot all the same size y, young carrot tops
- ¼ cup olive oil
