Caramelized Spiced Carrots Recipes

Steps:

• Place carrots into a large saucepan, pour in enough water to reach depth of 1 inch, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer carrots until tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and transfer to a bowl.
• Melt butter in the same saucepan; stir brown sugar, salt, and white pepper into butter until brown sugar and salt have dissolved. Transfer carrots into brown sugar sauce; cook and stir until carrots are glazed with sauce, about 5 more minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F. Whisk 1/4 cup water, pomegranate molasses, and next 7 ingredients in large bowl to blend. Add carrots to pomegranate mixture and toss to coat. Divide carrots between 2 large rimmed baking sheets. Roast until carrots are tender and liquids are reduced to glaze, stirring twice and mixing in water by tablespoonfuls if needed to prevent burning, about 55 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. (Can be made 4 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature. Rewarm in 375°F oven 10 minutes before serving.)
• Transfer carrots to platter. Sprinkle pomegranate seeds, pine nuts, basil, and mint over carrots and serve.
• *A thick pomegranate syrup; available at some supermarkets and Middle Eastern markets, and by mail from Adriana's Caravan (adrianascaravan.com).

Steps:

• Heat the oil and butter in a frying pan. Add the carrots and cook, covered, over a low heat, until the carrots have just tendered.
• Add the sugar, stir constantly, about 10 minutes, or until the carrots caramelise.
• Stir in the parsley and the vinegar.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Spray large rimmed baking sheet with nonstick spray.
• Combine carrots and all remaining ingredients in large bowl; toss to coat. Spread in single layer on prepared baking sheet. Roast carrots until tender and lightly caramelized, turning carrots over once, 35 to 40 minutes.

Steps:

• Blanch carrots in a pan of boiling salted water for 3 mins, drain well, then pat dry. In a large pan, melt the butter and oil, then fry the carrots, onions and thyme over a low heat for 30 mins until golden.
• Stir in the sugar and red wine and bubble for a few mins to boil off the alcohol. Add the vinegar, then continue to cook until syrupy, about 5 mins. Remove the sprigs of thyme and serve. Make up to 2 days ahead, stored in a covered container. Tip back into a pan and reheat or use a microwave.

Steps:

• Peel and wash the carrots. Trim the greens down to about 1-2 inches. I like to leave the greens on for color on the serving platter.
• Lightly toast the coriander and cardamom pods. Grind in your spice grinder.
• Whisk together first 9 ingredients in a large bowl. Add carrots to mixture and coat well.
• Place carrots in 375 degree oven and roast until carrots are tender and liquids are reduced to a glaze. If needed during the cooking process add a little water and stir to prevent burning. The roasting process will take about 45-60 minutes.
• Pull out of the oven and season with some salt and pepper.
• Transfer carrots to a platter. Sprinkle pine nuts, basil, and mint over carrots to serve.
