Having vegetables as a main dish is pretty normal in our home, at our dinner gatherings, and even extended family outings. Occasionally, experimenting with classics is what makes all the difference. I revamped my regular roasted carrot dish and added a favourite herb from our garden: fresh rosemary. But, the major difference was adding the honey pecans to the dish, which balanced the combination of savoury and sweet, and gave the dish a slight tangy finish.
I served garlicky roasted carrots and added a potato. This was a main dish for us, but I also served it as a side dish along with a Caesar salad on a different night. *I used a bag of frozen round wedged carrots and thawed them out to save time.
Ingredients:
340 g (12 oz.) carrots (round wedges or thinly sliced)
1 russet potato (cleaned) or about 180 g (cut in small cubes)
3 tablespoons quality olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh rosemary (chopped)
1 1/2 teaspoons Tamari (Gluten-free soy)
1 teaspoon onion powder
4 garlic cloves (chopped)
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon coarse sea salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Yield: Serves 2-4
Prep: 5-7 min. Cook: Bake 200 C/400 F 30-40 min.
Method:
- Place cut carrots and cut potatoes in a bowl with the olive oil, Tamari, garlic, paprika, and onion powder.
- Sprinkle rosemary, black pepper, and coarse sea salt in the bowl, then toss the veggies (carrots and potatoes) until they are nicely coated.
- Transfer the veggies to a sheet pant, spreading them out in a layer.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until potatoes are browned and carrot edges are slightly crisp.
- With a spatula stir and flip veggies after 15 minutes.
- Remove from oven, place a generous handful of honey pecans on top, and garnish with a rosemary sprig. Season to taste. Serve hot.
