Spiced roasted Chantenay carrots
Background
These deliciously spiced roasted Chantenay carrots go well with roast poultry (goose, turkey or duck) as well as pork and lamb - so it’s a perfect side-dish during the winter festivities. If you don’t have enough space in your oven to bake it whilst your bird/joint is roasting, you can pre-cook this dish (even the day before) and reheat just before serving (in this case add the sugar during reheating); alternatively bake it while your roast is resting. As for the citrus fruit, use lemon or orange - depending on your main course and the other side dishes you're serving. For a big party double the amount of ingredients! For a healthier version you can use honey or maple syrup in place of the sugar.
Ingredients
- 250g Chantenay carrots (or other small carrots)
- 1 tsp grated ginger ( or ½ tsp ground ginger)
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 clove of garlic, minced
- Juice and grated zest of ½ lemon or orange
- 2 Tbsp soft butter or dairy-free spread
- 1 Tbsp dark muscovado sugar
- Salt and pepper
Instructions
- Put the carrots in an oven-proof dish.
- Mix the butter with the ginger, garlic, cinnamon and citrus zest. Add some seasoning.
- Scatter this all over the carrots. Drizzle over the citrus juice.
- Bake in the oven for 15 minutes.
- Turn over the carrots and sprinkle with the sugar.
- Bake for another 15 minutes until the carrots are tender and caramelised.
