Maple Roasted Carrots With Sage Brown Butter Goat Cheese And Pine Nuts Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Trim and scrub the carrots. If the carrots are more than 1 inch in diameter, cut them in half lengthwise. Cut the carrots in large diagonal slices 1 inch wide × 2 inches long (they will shrink when they roast) and place in a medium bowl with 1/4 cup of olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Toss well and transfer to two sheet pans. (If you use just one, they¿ll steam instead of roasting.) Roast for 20 minutes, tossing once, until the carrots are tender. Transfer all the carrots to one of the sheet pans, add the maple syrup, toss, and roast for 10 to 15 minutes, until the edges are caramelized. Watch them carefully! Toss with a metal spatula and set aside for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine the cranberries and orange juice in a small saucepan, bring to a simmer, then set aside for 10 minutes.
• In a small bowl, combine the vinegar, garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Whisk in 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Place the arugula in a large bowl and add the carrots, cranberries (with their liquid), goat cheese, almonds, and the vinaigrette. Toss with large spoons, sprinkle with salt, and serve at room temperature.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425. In a large bowl toss the carrots with the maple syrup and drizzle of olive oil, salt and pepper. Spread out evenly onto a foil-lined sheet tray. Bake for 15-20 minutes total, checking after 8-10 minutes, and flipping once carrots have browned on one side. After flipping bake for another 5-10 minutes. Sage Brown Butter To brown butter, first cut the butter into tablespoon sized chunks. Over medium heat, melt the butter in a small heavy-bottomed pot. Once the butter melts let it continue to cook, watching carefully. The butter will begin to turn brown and develop a nutty smell. Be careful not to let it burn as it goes from brown to burnt quickly. Remove from heat. Stir in the chopped sage leaves. Let the brown butter cool slightly and then toss the carrots with the brown butter and pine nuts. Add crumbled goat cheese. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Combine ingredients in a ziplock bag and shake well to combine.
• Spray a baking pan with non stick spray and add carrots in a single layer.
• Roast carrots in the preheated oven, stirring every ten minutes until desired softness is reached.
