Ingredients

Instructions

  • Mix the butter and orange zest until well incorporated. Refrigerate while the carrots are roasting.
  • Arrange the orange slices on the bottom of an oiled shallow baking dish and cover with a few thyme sprigs.
  • Toss the carrots ( scrubbed well and dry ) with the olive oil and a pinch of sea salt and place them on top of the oranges and thyme.
  • Roast at 425″ for about 40 minutes, until al dente turning once half way through cooking. If you prefer them softer cook an additional 10 minutes.
  • Remove the carrots from the oven and top with thin small dabs of the cold orange butter. Sprinkle with some fresh herbs and enjoy as a side dish next to steaks, roasts or chicken.
  • If you prefer a deeper caramelization of the carrots, just throw them under the broiler fire for a minute or two.
