Roasted Carrot Salad With Arugula Goat Cheese Crispy Garlic Chips Recipe 55

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:

• Place a baking sheet in the oven; preheat to 450 degrees F. Toss the carrots with 1 tablespoon olive oil, a big pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Spread the carrots on the hot pan and bake until lightly browned and tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, toast the almonds in a small dry skillet over low heat, stirring frequently, about 5 minutes. Let cool.
• Whisk the vinegar, honey, mustard and shallot in a large bowl. Slowly whisk in the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil until combined. Add the spinach, lettuce and almonds and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer the salad and carrots to a platter. Top with the goat cheese and chives.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment. Peel and trim the carrots-cut into evenly sized pieces (cut the thick slices in half), brush with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt- place on lined baking sheets and roast for about 20 minutes, turning once. Remove from oven when lightly browned on both sides, set aside to cool. Crispy Garlic Chips: Place a small skillet over a medium heat and generously cover the bottom with olive oil, at least 1/4 cup. Thinly slice the garlic cloves and place in the hot olive oil, cook and stir until light brown-remove from the heat (don't overcook), set aside on folded paper towel to drain. Divide the greens onto the serving plates. Scatter the roasted carrot slices and garlic chips on top of each plate. Break the goat cheese into small pieces and scatter over the top of each serving. Strain the olive oil used to cook the garlic slices, place in a small bowl and add a couple of spoonfuls of the balsamic vinegar with sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste, drizzle over the salads and serve.

Steps:

• To make the vinaigrette, pour the vinegar into a small bowl and whisk in 5 tablespoons of the extra virgin olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Cut the carrots crosswise in half, then cut the halves into thick rough sticks. Toss in a bowl with 3 tablespoons of the olive oil, the thyme, and salt and pepper to taste.
• Heat a chapa or large cast-iron skillet over high heat. Working in batches if necessary, add the carrots in a single layer and cook, without turning, until they are charred on the bottom and almost burned, 3 to 5 minutes. Turn with a spatula and cook on the other side for 2 to 3 minutes more, adjusting the heat as necessary, until they are crunchy on the outside and tender within. Transfer to a tray. Wipe out the skillet, if using, and set aside.
• Combine the parsley and arugula on a large serving platter and toss lightly with half the vinaigrette. Place the carrots on top.
• Reheat the chapa or skillet to very high heat and coat with the remaining 1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil. Immediately add the slices of goat cheese: be careful-the oil may spatter. As soon as you see the cheese blacken on the bottom, remove the slices with a thin spatula and invert onto the carrots. Toss the garlic chips over the salad and drizzle with the remaining vinaigrette.

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Combine the carrots, almonds, and garlic in a mixing bowl. Drizzle with the olive oil, then season to taste with salt and pepper. Spread out onto an ungreased baking sheet.
• Bake the carrots in the preheated oven until soft and the edges turn brown, about 30 minutes. Remove and allow to cool to room temperature.
• Once cool, return the carrots to the mixing bowl, and drizzle with honey and vinegar; toss until coated. Add the cranberries and blue cheese; toss again until evenly mixed. Combine with the arugula and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Combine the arugula, carrots, walnuts, cheese and tarragon in a salad bowl.
• In a small bowl or measuring cup, combine the lemon juice, vinegars, salt and mustard. Whisk together, and add the garlic. Whisk in the oils.
• Shortly before serving, toss the salad with the dressing.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees. Toss carrots with salt, pepper and 2 tablespoons oil on a rimmed baking sheet, and bake until edges are caramelized and carrots are tender, 28 to 33 minutes. Remove from oven and immediately toss with cumin. Let cool for a few minutes while you make the dressing. Carrots should be slightly warm but not hot when tossed with the greens.
• In a large bowl, whisk together pomegranate molasses, lemon juice, garlic, mustard and large pinch of salt and pepper. Taste and adjust lemon juice and seasonings if necessary. Whisk in remaining 1/4 cup oil until emulsified.
• Stir carrots into dressing, then gently toss with arugula, fennel and dill or mint. Serve immediately, drizzled with more olive oil and topped with pomegranate seeds, and yogurt and nuts or pita chips if using.
