Roasted Carrots with Candied Pecans and Goat Cheese: An Amazing Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: Clara Walker
  • Total Time: 22 minute

Ingredients

– 1 pound of carrots, peeled and cut into sticks
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 teaspoon salt
– ½ teaspoon black pepper
– ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
– ½ cup pecans, chopped
– ¼ cup brown sugar
– ½ cup goat cheese, crumbled
– Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)


Instructions

Creating Roasted Carrots with Candied Pecans and Goat Cheese is straightforward. Here’s how you can do it:

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C).

2. Prepare the Carrots: Peel and cut the carrots into uniform sticks for even roasting.

3. Season the Carrots: In a mixing bowl, toss the carrot sticks with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and cinnamon until evenly coated.

4. Roast the Carrots: Spread the carrots on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for about 30-35 minutes, or until tender and caramelized, turning them halfway through for even cooking.

5. Prepare Candied Pecans: In a small saucepan, combine chopped pecans and brown sugar over medium heat. Stir frequently until the sugar melts and coats the pecans (about 3-5 minutes). Remove from heat and allow to cool on parchment paper.

6. Assemble the Dish: Once the carrots are roasted, remove them from the oven. Transfer the carrots to a serving platter and sprinkle with crumbled goat cheese.

7. Add the Candied Pecans: Top the dish with the candied pecans for a sweet crunch.

8. Garnish: Optionally, sprinkle with fresh parsley for color before serving.
