Roasted Carrots with Garlic Bread Crumbs

Ingredients

6 carrots, peeled

⅓ cup orange juice

2 tablespoons water

½ teaspoon ground coriander

¼ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

2 tablespoons butter, melted, divided

¼ cup panko bread crumbs

1 teaspoon orange zest

2 cloves garlic, minced

chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

Cut carrots on an extreme bias into long 3/8-inch-thick slices. Arrange in a 9x13-inch baking dish. Add orange juice, water, coriander, and salt and pepper; toss to coat.

Roast until tender, 30 to 35 minutes, turning halfway through roasting time and drizzling with 1 tablespoon melted butter (and adding additional water if juices begin to scorch).

Meanwhile, stir together bread crumbs, remaining 1 tablespoon melted butter, orange zest, and garlic in a small bowl. Sprinkle over carrots; roast until panko is lightly browned, about 5 minutes more. Garnish with chopped parsley leaves.

Description

Roasted carrots are just the best. They become so sweet and delicious.

Notes

I found it difficult to slice on the extreme bias, and the very lest extreme cuts worked perfectly but possibly not as pretty. Made in advance and reheated.
