Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Cut off all but 1 inch of the carrot tops. Put the carrots in a large shallow pan, add the oil and season with salt and pepper. Turn to coat the carrots. Stick them in the oven and bake for 30 minutes until they are fork tender.

Melt butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Cook until butter becomes brown and nutty. Squeeze in juice from orange halves, add the zest, brown sugar, cumin and cinnamon and continue to cook for 2 minutes or until syrupy.

Remove carrots from oven, drizzle orange brown butter over carrots and serve.
