Glazed Cumin Carrots Recipes

ROASTED CARROTS WITH TURMERIC AND CUMIN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Cut the carrots in half lengthwise and crosswise. If the carrots are fat at one end, cut the fat half in half again lengthwise, so that the pieces are more or less equal in thickness. Place in a large bowl and toss with the olive oil, salt and pepper, and thyme leaves.
• Heat a heavy baking sheet in the oven for 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the oven and place the carrots on it in one layer. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring the carrots every 10 minutes. They should be slightly caramelized and tender.
• While the carrots are in the oven place the cumin and coriander seeds in a mortar and pestle and grind. Add the soft butter, turmeric and Aleppo pepper or chili powder and stir with the pestle until well amalgamated. Transfer to a large pan.
• Remove the carrots from the oven when done and add to the pan with the spice butter and the mint. Toss together, taste and adjust salt and pepper. Serve from the pan or transfer to a platter.

GLAZED CUMIN CARROTS

Steps:

• Peel carrots and cut into 1/4 inch slices diagonally.
• Heat oil in large skillet and cook garlic and ginger for one minute. Add cumin and stir for 30 seconds.
• Add remaining ingredients, starting with 1 cup of broth.
• Cook over medium heat stirring occasionally. Leave uncovered.
• When all of the liquid has evaporated check if carrots are tender. If they aren't add more broth and continue cooking. They should take about 20 - 25 minutes.
• When done check for seasonings and serve.

CUMIN ROASTED CARROTS

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F, or a grill to high (if you are outside, prepare a campfire). Cut any large carrots in half lengthwise and crosswise.
• Drizzle a large sheet of foil with some oil. Arrange the carrots in a flat, single layer over half the sheet of foil. Drizzle the carrots with more oil and sprinkle with the garlic, cumin and salt and pepper. Top the carrots with the butter and drizzle with the honey. Fold the foil in half over the carrots and fold the edges to seal and form a pouch. To avoid crowding the carrots, make two pouches if necessary.
• Cook the pouch in the oven or on a grill or campfire for 15 minutes. To serve, cut open the pouch tableside and finish with a sprinkle of parsley.

CUMIN AND HONEY CARROTS

Steps:

• In a large saucepan bring salted water to a boil.
• Meanwhile, cut carrots on the diagonal into 1/2-inch slices. Add the carrots to the water and parboil for 3-4 minutes or until tender on the outside but very firm in the center. Dran and set carrots aside.
• In a large skillet, melt butter and honey over medium heat. When the mixture is foaming, add the carrots and toss to coat. Season with salt and cumin and cook for 5 minutes or until well glazed. Sprinkle with sesame and cumin seeds, toss once more and serve.

GLAZED CARROTS

Steps:

• Place carrots into a large saucepan, pour in enough water to reach depth of 1 inch, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer carrots until tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and transfer to a bowl.
• Melt butter in the same saucepan; stir brown sugar, salt, and white pepper into butter until brown sugar and salt have dissolved. Transfer carrots into brown sugar sauce; cook and stir until carrots are glazed with sauce, about 5 more minutes.

HONEY ROASTED CARROTS WITH CUMIN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Put carrots into a large sealable plastic bag; add honey, olive oil, cumin, salt and black pepper. Seal the bag and manipulate the contents until the carrots are completely coated; pour into a baking dish.
• Roast in the preheated oven until just tender, or to your desired degree of doneness, 30 to 40 minutes.

CRANBERRY-GLAZED CARROTS

Steps:

• Cook 1 1/2 pounds thinly sliced carrots in a skillet with 2 tablespoons olive oil until beginning to soften, 5 to 7 minutes. Add 1 1/2 cups no-sugar-added cranberry juice, 3/4 teaspoon cumin and a pinch each of cinnamon and salt. Simmer, stirring, until tender and glazed, 25 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped parsley.

CUMIN AND ORANGE GLAZED CARROTS

Steps:

• Cut out a round from parchment paper to fit just inside a 12-inch heavy skillet (3 inches deep), then set round aside.
• Cut peel, including all white pith, from oranges with a sharp paring knife. Working over a bowl, cut segments free from membranes, letting segments fall into bowl, then squeeze 1/2 cup juice from membranes into another bowl (discard membranes). Chop orange segments and reserve.
• Cut a 1-inch-thick diagonal slice from a carrot and set aside, then roll carrot away from you 90 degrees and cut another 1-inch-thick diagonal slice. (Shape will resemble a trapezoidal log. If carrots are very thick, cut slices in half lengthwise as well). Cut up rest of carrot in same manner, then repeat with remaining carrots.
• Heat oil in skillet over moderate heat until hot but not smoking, then add cumin seeds and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add carrots, water, orange juice, lemon juice, sugar, salt, and pepper. Cover carrots directly with parchment round and simmer, stirring occasionally, 30 minutes. Remove parchment, then continue to simmer, stirring occasionally, until most of liquid is evaporated and carrots are tender and glazed, about 20 minutes more. Serve warm or at room temperature, sprinkled with chopped orange.

CUMIN GLAZED CARROTS

Steps:

• Cook carrots with oil and cumin in a 3-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat, stirring, until well coated, about 1 minute.
