Ingredients
- 4 Tbsp unsalted butter, softened
- 3 Tbsp white miso (soybean paste)
- 1 tsp chili garlic sauce
- 2 Tbsp orange juice
- 1 Tbsp light brown sugar
- 1 Tbsp chives, minced
- 2 lbs carrots with tops, peeled, and tops trimmed to 1-2 inches
- 1 Tbsp minced chives, for garnish
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
-
Combine all the ingredients except the carrots in a food processor fitted with a steel blade and process until fully blended.
-
Place carrots in a single layer on a non-stick foil or parchment lined sheet pan.
-
Spread the miso butter over the carrots and bake for about 30 mins or until carrots are browned and can be easily pierced with a knife. Turn the carrots once or twice while they're baking and baste. Baking times will vary depending on the size of of the carrots.
-
Top with minced chives and serve.
Recipe Notes
- I recommend buying carrots with the tops instead of the baby carrots or ones in plastic bags. Fresh, vibrant greens indicate the freshness of the carrots.
- Make sure you use white (color actually looks a little yellow) miso paste for this recipe, not red. White is sweeter and more mild, while red is bolder and saltier.
- High heat is ideal for this recipe. It helps to caramelize the carrots on the outside while yielding a tender center.
- Select carrots that are uniform in size so they roast evenly.
