Sticky roast baby carrots with orange and raisins

This Sticky Roast Baby Carrots with Orange and Raisins recipe is a delightful combination of sweet and savory flavors, perfect for a side dish that will elevate any meal. The natural sweetness of the carrots is enhanced by the vibrant zest of orange juice and the mild acidity of raisins. Adding garlic and fresh parsley lends a balanced flavor that is both aromatic and mouthwatering.

Ingredients:

2 tbsp raisins
30g
1/3 cup orange juice
72g
2 tsp brown sugar
6g
2 garlic cloves
6g
4 cups carrots
480g
2 tsp olive oil
9g
1 tbsp fresh parsley
5g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Raisins and Juice: In a small bowl, combine the raisins and orange juice. Let them soak for about 10 minutes, allowing the raisins to plump up and absorb the juice.
3. Mix the Marinade: After the raisins have soaked, add the brown sugar and minced garlic to the orange juice and raisins mixture. Stir well to ensure the sugar dissolves completely.
4. Prepare the Carrots: While the raisins are soaking, wash and trim the baby carrots if necessary. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
5. Toss Carrots with Olive Oil: Place the baby carrots in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat evenly.
6. Combine Carrots and Marinade: Pour the orange juice mixture over the carrots. Toss to ensure the carrots are well coated with the mixture.
7. Roasting: Transfer the carrots to a baking sheet, spreading them out in a single layer. Pour any leftover marinade over the carrots.
8. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and slightly caramelized. Make sure to stir the carrots halfway through the roasting time to ensure even cooking.
9. Finish with Parsley: Once the carrots are done, remove them from the oven. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley for a burst of color and flavor.
10. Serve: Transfer the sticky roast baby carrots to a serving dish and enjoy while warm.

Tips:

- To ensure even cooking, cut the carrots into similar sizes.

- Soak the raisins in the orange juice for a few minutes before cooking to make them plump and juicy.

- For added depth of flavor, you can toast the garlic cloves lightly before adding them to the mixture.

- If you prefer a spicier kick, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes.

- Garnish with additional parsley just before serving for a fresh and vibrant finish.
