ORANGE-ROASTED RAINBOW CARROTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450˚.

• Place the carrots on a sheet pan, drizzle with 3 tablespoons olive oil and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Toss well with your hands and spread out in one layer.
• Roast for 15 to 20 minutes, turning once, until the carrots are lightly browned and tender. Sprinkle with the orange zest, orange juice and fleur de sel and toss well. Serve hot or at room temperature.

ROASTED CARROTS WITH PISTACHIO RELISH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375˚ F. Toast the coriander seeds in a dry pan over medium heat until just smoking, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate to cool. Pound with a mortar and pestle (or use a heavy skillet!) to form a coarse powder.
• Whisk 1/4 cup olive oil, the orange juice, honey, rice vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, a few grinds of pepper and the coriander in a bowl.
• Toss the carrots with half of the dressing on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast, rotating the pan halfway through, until carrots are tender and starting to brown, 35 to 40 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the relish: Pulse the olives, pistachios, dates, orange zest, parsley, the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and a few grinds of pepper in a food processor to make a fine textured relish (don't let it turn into a paste!). Remove to a bowl.
• Toss the roasted carrots with the remaining dressing and arrange on a serving platter. Scatter the relish on top.
