ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds whole, young carrots with green tops
- 1 1/2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 1/2 tablespoons orange juice
- 1 teaspoon harissa paste
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- Coarse sea salt, to finish
Method
Step 1
To prepare the carrots: trim most of the green tops, leaving about ½ inch of the green stems. Wash and peel carrots. You should be left with about 1 pound of carrots!
Step 2
For harissa mixture: In a small bowl, mix together harissa paste, orange juice, olive oil and 1/8 teaspoon salt.
Step 3
To pan roast carrots: Preheat a large skillet over medium heat. Once the skillet is hot, add the harissa mixture and then the carrots. Toss carrots with tongs until coated. Cover your skillet and let carrots pan roast for about 14-19 minutes until carrots are fork tender and caramelized, tossing every few minutes. For extra caramelization, uncover carrots for the last 2 minutes!
Step 4
To serve: Serve with a generous amount of coarse sea salt.
