Roasted Maple Glazed Baby Carrots With Dried Grapes Recipes

Steps:

• In a 3-qt. slow cooker, combine carrots, marmalade, water and salt. Cook, covered, on low heat until carrots are almost tender, 2-3/4 hours. Add the grapes and butter. Cover and cook on low until tender, 45 minutes longer. If desired, sprinkle with parsley.

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:

• Heat oven to 250 degrees. Put grapes in a bowl and spray lightly with vegetable oil. Toss to coat. Turn grapes into a 12-inch non-stick ovenproof skillet. Dry in oven, tossing grapes every 20 minutes or so, until skin shrivels and grapes are tawny and lightly caramelized, 2 to 2 1/2 hours. Remove from oven and set aside. (Grapes can be made a day ahead and refrigerated.)
• Place carrots on paper towel-lined pan to dry. Increase oven temperature to 500 degrees. Place broiler pan or heavy roasting pan in oven. In small saucepan over low heat, melt butter and cook until golden brown. Add sage leaves, maple syrup and dried grapes. Swirl to combine and turn off heat, but leave on burner to keep warm.
• Place carrots, olive oil and salt in a bowl and toss, rubbing oil and salt into carrots. Turn carrots onto hot pan in oven in a single layer. Roast, shaking pan occasionally, until carrots have begun to color and are almost tender, about 10 minutes.
• Pour grape mixture over carrots and toss with heat-proof spatula to coat. Roast until glaze begins to set and carrots are tender and spotty-brown, about 5 minutes more. Remove carrots from oven and sprinkle with lemon peel and pepper. Transfer to warm bowl and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Place carrots into a pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain and transfer carrots to a serving bowl.
• Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir maple syrup into melted butter and cook until warmed, 1 to 2 more minutes. Pour butter-maple syrup over carrots and toss to coat; season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 475 degrees.
• In shallow baking dish, toss carrots with oil and salt to coat.
• Roast in oven for 10 minutes.
• Heat butter in small saucepan until golden brown (dont burn!), remove from heat and add maple syrup.
• Drizzle over carrots and shake pan to coat.
• Return to oven and continue to roast for another 8 minutes, or until brown and tender.
• Serve immediately.
