With the holidays coming up this week I wanted to share these Miso Glazed Carrots. It’s such a simple and easy side dish you can whip up in 30 minutes or less. Made with roasted carrots, a sweet miso glaze, and topped with cranberries, sesame seeds and fresh herbs. This dish is vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free.
For these Miso Glazed Carrots I cut the carrots into 1 inch pieces. It is really important to cut these up veggies into small even sized pieces. If they are too large they will take longer than the recommended time to cook.
TIPS WHEN ROASTING YOUR VEGGIES
- Cut your vegetables into even 1 inch bite sized pieces.
- Line your baking pan with parchment paper or spray with oil. This will prevent the carrots from sticking to your pan.
- Lay the veggies out on a pan evenly. Avoid overlapping and stacking on the pan. When veggies are stacked, the vegetable will not cook evenly.
- Drizzle the miso mixture on top of your vegetables before roasting. Make sure to check to see what your oils smoke point is before using.
- Some oils that have a high smoke point include, avocado oil, grapeseed oil, and canola oil.
You can also add additional roasted vegetables to this recipe as well. Some great additions include parsnips, cauliflower, butternut squash, or acorn squash. Depending on what vegetable you add to your pan will depend on if it needs to be roasted for a longer period of time.
