Categories     Vegetable

Yield 1 4

Number Of Ingredients 5

1LB (500g) carrots
peeled and trimmed; 2 cloves garlic
smashed; 2 orange zest strips
each 2 inches (5 cm) long and 1/2 inch (12 mm) wide
cut into julienne; 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil; kosher salt and freshly ground pepper; 1 cinnamon stick broken into half; 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400F Cut the carrots into 2-inch (500 cm) lengths; hlave lengthwise any thick top portions so all the pieces will cook evenly. In a shallow, 9-by-13 inch baking dish, combine the carrots, garlic, and orange zest. Drizzle the vegetables with the olive oil and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste. Add the cinnamon stick, toss to coat the vegetables evenly, and spread in an even layer in the dish. Roast the carrots, stirring every 10 minutes, until tender and lightly browned, about 50 minutes. Remove from the oven and transfer to a warmed serving dish. Sprinkle the carrots with the lemon juice and serve at once.
