If you're looking for an elegant yet simple side dish, prosciutto-wrapped baby carrots are a perfect choice. This recipe combines the sweetness of honey-glazed carrots with the savory flavor of prosciutto, creating a delightful blend of tastes and textures. Perfect for a special dinner or holiday meal, it will impress both family and guests alike.
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cut the prosciutto slices into thin strips, enough to wrap around each carrot.
- Place the baby carrots in a medium saucepan.
- Add 1/2 cup water to the saucepan.
- Cover and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Reduce the heat and simmer for about 5-7 minutes, or until the carrots are tender but still slightly firm.
- Drain the water from the saucepan and let the carrots cool slightly.
- Once the carrots are cool enough to handle, take a strip of prosciutto and wrap it around each carrot. You can start from one end and spiral the prosciutto down to the other end. Make sure the prosciutto is snug but not too tight.
- Place the prosciutto-wrapped carrots on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Drizzle the honey evenly over the carrots.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes or until the prosciutto is crispy, and the carrots are beautifully caramelized.
- Once done, remove the carrots from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
- Arrange them on a serving platter and enjoy as a delightful appetizer or side dish.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, small to medium-sized carrots for even cooking and a tender texture.
- For an added touch of flavor, consider sprinkling some fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary over the carrots before roasting.
- Use a good quality prosciutto to ensure the best flavor and texture.
- Be mindful of the salt content since prosciutto is already salty; you may not need to add extra salt.
- If you prefer a crispier prosciutto coating, broil the carrots for an additional 1-2 minutes after roasting.
Prosciutto-wrapped baby carrots combine the best of both worlds: the subtle sweetness of honey-glazed carrots and the delicate saltiness of prosciutto. This dish is sure to be a hit at any gathering and is surprisingly easy to make. Enjoy the perfect balance of flavors with minimal effort.
