slow roasted yellow carrots
I picked up these carrots at the market this morning. One word: unreal. They are so tender and delicious. I wish I had bought more. The recipe may sound really basic - and it is. It is summer at its best. Easy, fast and delicious. I would caution the use of olive oil at a temperature above 325 degrees. Any higher and it reaches its smoking point. So, I slow roasted them and the result is just divine.
2 bunches organic yellow carrots, tops removed
good extra virgin olive oil (about 3 tblsps)
salt and pepper
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
- Prepare carrots by cutting off the stems, and scrubbing them under water to remove any dirt.
- Cut on the diagonal and place into a bowl. Sprinkle olive oil, salt and pepper over them. Toss to coat.
- Place in baking sheet and place on the middle rack in the oven.
- Roast for 45-50 minutes, testing with a knife or fork for done-ness.
