Roasted Peewee Carrots, Orange Miso Glaze & Tofu Puree
Description
Roasted Peewee Carrots with Orange Miso Glaze and Tofu Puree starts with peeling and roasting carrots and shallots together after seasoning with canola oil, berbere spice, and salt. After initial roasting at 350°F for 20 minutes, the carrots are removed and tossed with an orange miso glaze. The glaze is made by reducing orange juice then whisking in miso paste to a rich consistency.
The glazed carrots receive an additional roasting step at a higher temperature, 400°F, for 5 minutes to caramelize the glaze and add a sticky, flavorful coating. The tofu puree combines tofu, cottage cheese, garlic, and salt blended until smooth, providing a creamy and mild contrast to the spiced carrots.
The final plating includes dollops of the tofu puree dotting the glazed carrots, creating a balance of textures and flavors with sweet citrus notes, umami miso, and warming berbere spice.
