I found this recipe through an online community. The woman who shared it calls it "Carrots of Awesomeness +5" because they are that awesome. Roasted carrots are amazingly sweet, which is a boon to someone who's trying to cut back on even natural sweeteners. And I love cardamom. It might be my favorite spice.
The original recipe is here, but I upped the awesomeness stats by using whole cardamom, and clarified butter to roast them. No industrial-byproduct canola oil here!
Carrots of Awesomeness +6
adapted from EatingWell.com
1.5 lbs. of carrots, sliced into 1/4" coins on the diagonal
3 Tbsp. melted clarified butter
10-12 whole cardamom pods, cracked open
salt
Melt the butter over low heat and add the cardamom pods. Turn off the heat and let steep for a while (I did 30 minutes), rewarming it if the butter starts to solidify. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Toss carrots with melted butter and cardamom, and sprinkle with some salt to taste. Spread on a parchment-lined sheet pan and roast for 20-30 minutes, stirring once or twice, until they start to brown in places. Serve immediately. They're also good cold the next morning. Makes 4 servings as a side dish.
