the best whole-baked carrots

snacks and sides | serves 4
I love cooking any type of carrot in this way. By cooking them first covered by tinfoil, they steam and exchange flavours with the herbs and garlic. Then when you remove the foil they start to roast and sweeten. A really simple method but one that gives incredibly delicious results!
Preheat your oven to 200°C/400°F/gas 6. Toss your carrots with a good glug of olive oil, a splash of vinegar, salt and pepper, the thyme sprigs and the garlic cloves. Place in a roasting tray or earthenware dish, cover tightly with tinfoil and cook for 30 to 40 minutes until just tender. Remove the foil and cook for a further 10 minutes until the carrots have browned and caramelized nicely.

1. jenny Thu 09 Apr 2009 @ 17:27 Thanks, Jamie. I am having a lot of people, with teens, over for Easter dinner (at least a lot for me) and will be out of town the two days before. Along with the carrots, I am also roasting asparagus (faster of course), and these carrots I can prep ahead, along with my frozen dessert and other sides and starters. With my window grown thyme, and our ham, they should go well with the rest of the meal, and not be too tricky. They will be in the pan, and I only have one oven, so I need to be able to slide lots in, too!

2. Belle Tue 17 Feb 2009 @ 09:32 I make these all the time, and use what ever herbs I have, if i am cooking lamb i usually use a bit of rosemary and garlic in with my carrots - just as beautiful!....... everyone of our friends that has had these when they come for dinner falls in love!!!

Thanks Jamie.......

5. Anja Sat 19 Jul 2008 @ 10:37 Simple and delicious! That's what I do like about these recipes. They are not complicated, you can use this on daily base (believe me, I'll never cook my carrots again). Gonna try the cauliflower with almonds today...
