Brown Butter Carrots Recipes

Steps:

• Cut carrots in half lengthwise; cut into 2-inch pieces (cut any thick pieces in half lengthwise). In 12-inch or larger skillet, cook butter over medium heat, stirring frequently, until it begins to brown. Add carrots, salt and pepper; cook 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, just until carrots are tender.
• Pour water into skillet. Cover; cook 10 minutes. Stir in brown sugar and vinegar; cook uncovered 8 to 10 minutes or until carrots are glazed and most of liquid has evaporated. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla. Garnish with thyme.

Steps:

• In a skillet large enough to hold the carrots, heat the olive oil over medium heat. When the oil begins to smoke lightly, add the carrots and season with salt and black pepper. Using a wooden spoon, stir the carrots to coat with the oil and seasonings.
• After the carrots have cooked for a few minutes, add the brown sugar and molasses and continue to cook, stirring from time to time. Add a little water so they can become tender without burning the sugar. Continue to cook until tender, about 5 to 8 minutes. Add more water, if needed, but the sauce should be thick enough to coat the carrots and should bubble around the edges of the pan. The carrots should be tender and fairly yielding when pierced with the tip of a knife. Add the butter and the rosemary sprig. Once the butter has melted remove the rosemary sprig and discard. Transfer the carrots to a serving bowl and garnish with chopped carrot tops. Serve immediately or allow to "rest" a little before serving.

Steps:

• Cook carrots in a large pot of boiling water until tender. Drain off most of the liquid, leaving bottom of pan covered with water. Set the carrots aside.
• Stir margarine and brown sugar into the water. Simmer and stir until the margarine melts. Return carrots to the pot, and toss to coat. Cover, and let sit for a few minutes to allow flavors to mingle.

Steps:

• Trim and peel the carrots, and then cut them in half. Cut each half into long, thin matchsticks.
• Melt the butter over medium heat in a large skillet. Sprinkle in the sugar, and cook to melt. Add the carrots, and toss until they are coated. Cover carrot mixture, keeping lid slightly askew, and cook until the carrots are just tender, about 3 minutes.
• Season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat with melted butter and sugar. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 325. Scrub the carrots, and peel them if you like (it really doesn't matter). Set a roasting pan over two burners on medium heat; put the olive oil in the pan. When the oil is hot, add the carrots and cook, turning as they brown, until lightly caramelized all over, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Add 3 tablespoons butter, spices, salt and pepper. Transfer the roasting pan to the oven, and cook, shaking the pan once or twice, until the carrots are crinkly on the outside and you can pierce them easily with the tip of a sharp knife, 45 to 60 minutes.
• Meanwhile, put 1 stick butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally until the butter foam subsides and the butter turns nut brown, about 5 minutes. Turn off the heat.
• Put brown butter, vinegar, Dijon, salt and pepper in a blender. Blend until a creamy emulsion forms, about 30 seconds; taste, and adjust the seasoning. Put the carrots on a platter, drizzle the vinaigrette over the top and garnish with the chervil or parsley, and serve.

Steps:

• Place a rack in top third of oven; preheat to 450°. Toss carrots and olive oil on a large rimmed baking sheet. Season with kosher salt. Roast carrots until lightly charred around the edges and just-tender in the center. 15-18 minutes. Let cool slightly.
• Meanwhile, cook shallots, nori, garlic and butter in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring often, until butter is browned and nutty-smelling and shallots are golden, 6-7 minutes.
• Transfer carrots to a plate. Spoon butter dressing over. Drizzle with lime juice and season with sea salt.

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a shallow saucepan over a medium heat until nut brown, then add the carrots and star anise, and cook for 5 mins until the carrots start to colour. Sprinkle over the sugar and just cover with water. Season with salt, then bring to the boil, reduce the heat to a steady simmer and cook for 8 mins until most of the water has evaporated and the carrots are just cooked through and coated in a buttery glaze. Can be made up to four hours ahead and kept at room temperature, or cooled then kept chilled overnight.
• About 5 mins before serving, bring the carrots back to a simmer, stir through the sprout petals and cook for 3-5 mins until just wilted.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F. Trim carrot tops and coarsely chop. Measure out 2 Tbsp. carrot tops and set aside; reserve any remaining carrot tops for another use. Peel carrots, slice in half lengthwise, then cut into 2" pieces.
• Toss carrots with oil, sugar, salt, and pepper on a rimmed baking sheet. Arrange in a single layer and roast carrots, stirring halfway through, until tender and lightly caramelized, 25-35 minutes.
• Meanwhile, lightly crush fennel seeds using a mortar and pestle or the bottom of a heavy pan. Melt butter in a medium skillet over medium heat, then stir in crushed seeds. Cook, stirring occasionally, until foam subsides and butter becomes fragrant, nutty, and golden brown, 3-5 minutes. Transfer butter mixture to a medium bowl.
• Once carrots are roasted, add them to butter mixture and toss to coat. Add lemon juice and toss to coat. Serve carrots topped with reserved carrot tops.

Steps:

• Peel and cut the carrots on the bias into 1/4 inch thick ovals.
• Place the carrots and butter in a large skillet. Turn the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring often, until the carrots shrink and start to brown, 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours.
• Season with salt to tast, if using parmigiano-reggiano cheese sprinkle on top and serve immediately.
