Serves:

​

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ pounds medium whole carrots, peeled, with the leafy tops trimmed to about 1-2 inches

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted

  • ½ cup bourbon

  • ⅓ cup light brown sugar, packed

  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt

  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

  • parsley, chopped for garnish

Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Arrange the carrots in a single layer in a large, shallow baking dish.

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, bourbon, brown sugar, salt, and pepper until smooth.

  • Pour the sauce evenly over the carrots, ensuring they are coated. Arrange them in an even layer.

  • Roast the carrots for 45-55 minutes, turning them occasionally to recoat them in the sauce, until the carrots are tender. (Depending on the size of the carrots, you may need to adjust the cooking time.)

  • Remove the dish from the oven and transfer the carrots to a serving platter.

  • Garnish with parsley before serving. If making ahead, skip the parsley.


NOTE: For make-ahead recipe: Cool carrots to room temperature. Next, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet stirring to coat them in the sauce. Add a little water if the sauce is too thick. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley.
