Ingredients
- 1 ½ lbs carrots peeled
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and freshly cracked Black Pepper
- 2 oranges zested and juiced; divided
- 2 smashed cloves garlic
- 1/2 cup Ginger Ale
- 1 tablespoon ginger finely minced
- 1/4 cup chopped toasted hazelnuts
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley; divided
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. In a large bowl, toss the carrots with 4 to 5 tablespoons olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper. Then combine the zest and juice of one orange, the minced garlic, and half of the ginger; toss to coat.
- Heat a large oven-proof saute pan over medium-high heat. Arrange the carrots in an even layer in the saute pan and pour the ginger ale into the pan. Cook the carrots on the stovetop until they begin to brown.
- Transfer the carrots to the oven and cook for about 25 to 30 minutes, or until fork-tender.
- Once the carrots are cooked and the glaze is reduced, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool slightly.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix together the remaining orange zest, juice, and ginger. Then stir in the hazelnuts, parsley, and season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle the mixture over the carrots just before serving.
