    Frugal Foodie Friday: Sweet Roasted Five-Spice Carrots

    0
    By Alisa Fleming on September 11, 2009 Alisa's Milk-Free Blog

    These Sweet Roasted Five-Spice Carrots were inspired by my husband and a mission to serve him carrots he’d enjoy… For years my husband has picked through stir fries leaving a pile of carrots neatly on the side of his plate, which I eventually end up nabbing with my chopsticks to avoid any waste (okay, I love carrots, so I really don’t mind). But, when I made the outright statement that he doesn’t like carrots, he eminently denied it. He claimed that most carrots just weren’t good quality. The ones that we have had in some finer restaurants are much sweeter … those, he likes.

    Sweet Roasted Five-Spice Carrots

    Perplexed as to what the difference could be (after I had trialed organic, conventional, AND local carrots) I went online and discovered a little secret. It seems many chefs will sweeten the pot a bit with just a touch of sugar. It brings out the natural sweetness in carrots without going overboard and creating a glaze.

    With this new-to-me concept and a 5-spice craving, I cranked on the oven, and threw together an easy yet flavorful side dish of Sweet Roasted Five-Spice Carrots. Though my husband wasn’t elated at first to see a big pile of carrots on his plate, he gladly devoured every last morsel!
