| These beauties are ready to roast |
This open ended recipe
needs no precise measurements.
Just the best quality organic heirloom carrots and a few
seasonings. Preheat the oven to
550.
Wash and rub w/ a towel
a pound or two of organic heirloom carrots, fresh from the farmers market if
possible. Lay them on a parchment
lined baking sheet and top a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil then a sprinkle
of a coarse sea or mountain salt.
We use our Avanti pink blend of Himalayan, Bolivian & Hawaiian pink
salts. Add a splash of sake to
give a bit of flavorful steam to the roast. Put the carrots into the hot oven and turn the oven down to
350. Roast for one hour.
Note that you can use
flavored avocado oil, garlic oil, chili oil or toasted sesame oil, depending on
your desired flavor results. Same
w/ the booze. Consider Port,
Madeira, Sherrys of any ilk, or even bourbon or scotch. Just make sure to turn the oven down
pronto if using the hard liquor.
No one needs to flambé in an oven.
Once cool, slice and top
with a couple tablespoons of champagne, sherry or balsamic vinegar.
