on Aug 29, 2015, Updated Sep 01, 2020 This honey ginger roasted carrots were born out of ordering a whole bunch of baby carrots the other day after I saw that this batch had their stems. It’s very rare to find carrot stems in India, so when I saw them I knew I had to order. I had been itching to make chimichurri for a while. Even though it’s traditionally made with parsley, I decided to add my own touch and use carrot greens instead. The carrots were roasted with some honey, ginger and olive oil till they caramelized without getting mushy. The honey gave these a beautiful glaze, and the ginger became candied and crisp.

Top Tips To Make Ginger Roasted Carrots
Carrot greens are delicious with a slight carrot-y taste that makes for great pestos and sauces so next time you get your hands on a bunch of these DO NOT throw them away. Always roast the carrots whole. This really improves the texture and makes them visually more appealing when you actually sit down to eat. When roasting the carrots, make sure to place them in a single layer on the baking tray. This will prevent them from turning soggy during the cooking process. If you’re cooking for a larger crowd, I would really recommend baking in batches for the best texture. For the chimichurri, make sure to thoroughly wash the carrot greens and get rid of the tough stems. After washing them, gently dry them with a paper towel or a clean kitchen towel before chopping them up to get rid of the excess moisture. This will prevent them from clumping together.
I’m really hoping you give these a try and love them as much as I do. We later used the chimichurri on some sandwiches and I couldn’t tell the difference from the real stuff.
